Just adding to the previous comments:
I mailed Sean and asked him about his tracks (not about the kick im afraid), And he said he used alot of sidechain to keep the bass and kick isolated so he could rack the volume up loud plus adding a pumping movement.
I also read a Darren Tate interview and he made an interesting point on EQ'ing a kick drum
| quote: | | I'll listen to a kick drum and think, bearing in mind where club speakers have their pronounced point ? generally around 60Hz to 100Hz ? I know that for this particular mix that I'm working on, I really want it thumping at around 100Hz, that's the really chunky part of the sound, whereas the really low part just creates an unwanted 'mmmph' that isn't necessary, so I may roll off the really low sub frequencies. On top of that I might then compress it to make it a little bit tougher. |

I think that the kicks that they use are made in like Soundforge or Wavelab, and the proccesed thru many diffrerent elements..
OR, they just use the wonderful Kickpack i got a hold of ;)

| Darren tate in the same interview said he lifted his kicks from records, and the vengeance ones definitely are too. |

alot of producers do this. i no gleave dobbin (coast 2 coast) does. although it very hard to find a track nowadays with the kick playing solo in any part of the track. |

ok im pretty sure anyone decent around here will tell you theyve never used a kick with no processing to it at all.. |
they probably will. however i doubt they will recommend starting with a load of ty kicks, 'layering' them together and processing the outta them.
you have to start with a decent source sound to begin with. if the original sound aint good then no ammount of magic compressing will turn it into a decent sound. |

why do you put layering in quotes like its some crazy idea or something? have you ever tried it? it makes FAT kicks, a ty kick can be good in a layer if it just has decent mids or highs. ty kicks are the only kind worth layering.. if u have a good kick already it doesnt need anything layered :) |

balls. i layer good kicks so my overall kick is high in quality. |

I like how he pitch bends the wave twice, that will cause a shorter less boomy kick but still has good bass in it. Im gonna try that right now. |

And then ad some eq to taste, some compresson if needed and should get a nice tight kick. If you are not satisfied, you can try to layer a low frequency kick at the bottom!
Good luck!

i layer good kicks too.. their just not good enough. i never use totally kicks, they always have a good low end or high end that i want. |
