Kick drum question.....

i instead of *
I think the forum removes links where material could be posted

Ah, I understand, thanks.  But unfortunately, even when I insert the "i" it wouldn't take me to the site by copy/paste method.   Appreciate you posting it anyway though!

Love it, thanks!!!   Assuming it works in sonic mix of my track, can I use it?  Just checking ;-)

The key signature, bpm, chord progression, and finally arrangement and type of bass used and how it moves, these are all responsible to how the kick pop out in the track, study the stem sessions available online of famous songs and you'll find there are not so powerful kicks used most of the time. Mixing the drums high in volume is the worst common mistake and one of the worst to get rid of... because it just mask all the track and make them all sound good and FULL when they aren't, then you have to lower them in mixing and mastering stage to get a decent RMS and the track suddenly feels wrong, empty and weak.
The kick of the song you linked... sounds really crap to me, plain 909, really uninteresting and weak but after all it worked decently so... really, don't get stuck on single sounds, they are a tiny part of the whole picture and try to choose the sound while not listening in solo!
