1. ThE Source Material (change the sample dummy)
The first thing to focus on is the source material, the sample you've picked. If you have a Kick, that is dog pee; then you will need more than just Sausage Fattener to get it going. We shouldn't be doing more than just a bit of compression, eq, and saturation on a kick. If you find yourself IN A FOREST TRYING to get your kick to sound good, then just pick a new Kick!

2 Layer Your Kick Properly

It seems like layering kicks in today's age is like a newly turned 21-year-old man trying to get his smash count up. We use as many as we can, leading to meh kicks, not great ones. If you will be layering, do it safely and use no more than three kicks. The reason for 3 is we can use 1 lift for the principal body/bass of the kick, another for the transient, and finally, the last one for that uniqueness factor. Add in a cowbell?

3 Anchoring Your Kick
When we start doing sessions, I first teach my students to Anchor the kick and revolve everything around it in the mix. This technique helps keep the kick at the forefront of the track and also sets in stone a fundamental leveling technique in a world of unlimited choices.

4 The NotchNESS Monstah
As a sound designer, I want to craft a kick drum using an array of proper design techniques when I create a kick drum. These techniques don't care that I don't like the cardboard box sound that comes with the kick. Fun little title for this section, but the notch is an EQ you will see in almost every music producers Kick EQ which means half the population is doing this. Some sound designers leave this in the final kick just in case it might work on your track. However, I'm not too fond of it and usually end up removing it with EQ.

5 Progress Your Kick drum

This one is simple and done by a lot of intermediates to advanced producers; however another way to progress your Kick drum in the song is by omitting specific layers and frequencies in verses/breakdowns of your song. This will lead to more moments in your track that will help make your track more memorable rather than dull and boring

6 When processing for "fatness" KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)

As state good source material is needed and once you have that kick that is 80% there you should be doing slight alterations and saturation not putting half the WAVES Catalogue on your kick with random presets expecting Martin Garrix to come down from the heavens and bless you.
