I figured this out trying to replicate kicks I was hearing on records. I can tell some producers tune their high kick a little different, and that can make a big difference. |
yep -- its the best of both worlds imo - the low end keeps the punch while the hi end add to the cohesiveness of the song - it adds another element when the sub stays at the root note and the top half of the kick floats around - rather than the whole kick playing some sort of melody (which usually makes a track sound rather off or incomplete)
