I completely agree with damagedgoods.
Best post of the year, IMO.
Check my sig for a kick sample pack created mostly with the technique damagedgoods is talking about (a bit of sample layering as well).

Tuning a bass drum is easy. If a bass drum is hard to tun then most likely its a pile of sht anyways and you should dump it. If all else fails there are plenty of kick drum samples that don't totally suck.
You know you really want to take that statement back.
All you have done throughout this entire thread is either knock a technique and render it useless or say how easy it is to do this and that.
End of: Nothing else.
Why even post?
Excuse me?... i did state a technique for getting more out of your kick drum. Kick drums are not a thing that techno is short on, there are about a bazzillion kick drum samples and machines with perfectly good kicks. A kick drum is not an innovation and it's not the backbone of this music. It is extremely easy to get a good kick drum as long as it's tuned and eqed to fit in the mix. Maybe it's just me but it's something i never sweated.AK wrote:What?Torque wrote:
