How To Make Your Kick Drum Cut Through The Mix

How To Make Your Kick Drum Cut Through The Mix
#AudiotentTip 001.

If you're looking to make your kick cut through a busy mix try this technique.
First, find a very short closed hi hat sample. Reverse the sample and move it just before your kick drum. Next, lower the volume of the reversed hi hat sample so it's audible before the kick. This small sample before the kick will help to accentuate the transient of the kick, making it cut through the mix a little easier.
