Episode show notes:

A while back we did an episode on how we EQ kick drums. Now we're doing it again, but this time even more in-depth and with audio examples.

So you can actually hear what we're talking about and how it all sounds when applied.
You're gonna learn how the different frequency ranges sound and feel when it comes to kick drums and how you can then apply this knowledge to make intentional decisions in your next mix.

You'll be able to:

• get the low end right
• shape the midrange and top end to work with the style, genre and context of your song
• make it cut through a dense mix if necessary
• identify frequency issues and fix them quickly with EQ

Enjoy!
