Re: good compressor for bass and kick

With the kick, it's a sampled sound via an AKAI S5000. Again, sound isn't bad, just needs a tad more "kick".

I've done enough EQ'ing to get me in the ballpark, just think a bit of compression will help.

So?

Hmm - punch is normally the opposite of compression - might this be your problem:
Overcompression?
