not sure, but to me it sounds like he has a reversed kick going with the kick

Well at the begining is that really muddy kick with hardly any low end right?
Then a deeper kick comes in later whilst the other one is still there, so yeah it is a combo of two kicks. I guess with some compression too.
Hey Guys am I anumed to what a punchy kick sounds like because I make my own kicks now and this kick in traffic aint what id call 'Full'

Taking traffic as an example song to start with is bad news

There is a reversed kick in play there btw.

I don't think anyone asked for opinions on the tune.

Sample the kick, listen to it, you'll see it's actually not as complicated as it seems. Then just EQ the living sjiet out of a couple of kick samples At least that's how a newbie like me does it.

Just take a normal 909 kick put a compressor between redrum kick channel and mixer, also a distortion and a eq to rol off low end enable the eq on the mixer and cut the Hi almost al the way down. Now play with the compressor to get a sound you like.

Along with layering of kicks, alot of these tracks are professionally mixed and mastered using expensive current and vintage outboard processors. You're not going to duplicate a sound like that from Reason coming straight off a computer.

I seriously feel like I'm saying the same things over and over again in every thread, but here we go again...

Final mixing and mastering can only do so much to improve the tune. If the tune sounds flat and dull before mastering it will sound flat and dull after it too. You have to have the foundations right even before the mastering, it can't turn shit to diamonds.

Yeah thats in-denial bollocks, something we may have all used to pursade ourselfs its not our fault. But you can get things sounding EXTREMELY close to proffesional in any sequencer used around here. I bet The entire Traffic could have been made in fruityloops.
