In Fruity Loops u can create a "fake" kick that will punch your ture kick sample to the sky.

Just place a TS404 synth ander the kick, make it with a sinlge sine waveform, low coarse, low frequence (EQ it to raise the low and remove the high if needed), an overall average attack/decay, and compress it in a track fx, just like the main kick.

Place the notes exactly under the notes of the main kick at a low octave, turn on the slider for thar note, and make the next (inactive) note, exactly one octave lower than it.

U will get that "Wooof" sound of the kick that u can use to give the beat the strenght u desire. But be careful not to blowup your speakers.

i use reason

thanks for your help anyway!!

sounds cool... i'll try that out someday

Even if u use reason u still can do the same thing, in fact, u can do it with any program, even with soundforge if u have it, the ideia is the main thing. Just get a filtred sine wave at low frequency to slide down to a even lower frequency, this will aways get that "woof" sound of a kick, and u can play with it. U can even do your own kick this way, just adding another high frequency sample over this one for the kick attack.

Try it
