Audiotent Tip #425 // Kick Saturation


If your kick feels too soft and lacking drive, try processing it with saturation or distortion. Added harmonics will push the sound forward, making it more defined in the mix.


Experiment with different types of saturation, some of them work best on the midrange kicks, others excel in the low frequency domain, great for sub kicks.
