Episode show notes:
>>Please go back to part one of this mini series (episode 207) before you listen to this one!<<

You're not mixing kick drums, you're mixing songs. And the kick drum sound has to serve the song. Here's how to get this right in your mix.
We go through our kick drum chains and show you the tools we use, why we use them and how we use them in the context of the mix.
It's not just about EQ moves or compression techniques. It's about how it all works together to create the sound you want for your song.
PS: Please join the conversation by leaving a comment, a rating and review, or a post inside our free Facebook community.
