Bass Drum Sound Disappears

Hi @swissdrummer,

It may be easier to EQ your keyboardist’s sound to get out of the way of the kick. Here’s an article on frequency masking: Frequency Masking: All You Need to Know About It

In this case, EQing the keyboard track is most often how this is handled. There are other ways, too, such as side-chain compression, or multi-band dynamic EQ’s on your band’s full mix. But I think the easiest solution would be to carve out space for the kick in the keyboardist’s patches.

And, within Sensory, you can also, of course, add EQs and FX to your kick sound that would make it fatter and punchier. Attached is a session with an FX group that you can paste into your kicks’ FX panels and tweak to taste. See video below for how to paste it from one kick sound to another.
