Justin,

A Milli's kick sound (according to my ears) is:

a simple, constant-frequency (not changing in pitch) quite-sustained 808, with the high-end rolled-off quite a bit. Get the longest 808 sample you can get, roll-off the highs, and compress it a little bit. Probably 3:1 ratio, -3 or 4 db threshold, 20 ms attack 100 ms release (or close) with Waves Renaissance Comp in Opto/Warm modes. If you want more 'pump', make the release faster (10-20 ms, or so).

I would personally also layer a 909 as sustained-as-possible, mixed in *low*, for a bit more 'punch'.

I did what you said and the results are great!!

You have a good ear!

My only problem now is the fact I can only hear the bassy kick through my headphones and stereo, but not through laptop speakers. I want them to have that "official boom" cause you can hear "A Milli"'s 808s through ANYTHING!!

Any recommendations??

make sure you don't roll-off too much high end. Maybe add a short 909 kick layered-in for more attack.

Beyond that, I would have to hear what you have going-on to compare.
