Really booming beats

How would I go about making some really fat, booming beats? I understand some heavy EQ and compression is involved but I’m just not getting desired results :z



example (gunjack) http://mp3.juno.co.uk/MP3/SF302422-01-01-01.mp3





Any tips?


check out some of the tutorials specifically about drums and watch how they layer the kicks up and use a eq to get the desired result. i would recommend the techno, or nudisco for starts

Try using an 808 or 909 with a long decay.



However, do you have any examples of what you are trying to?

bit of distortion and compression



fatten it up

Try and start with a real poppy kick then use alot of distortion on it, I find it can sound like layering 5/6 kicks together without getting muddy:cool:
