Pro Mixing Tip: Add THIS To Your Kick!

In this mixing tutorial, I'll show you a quick and simple pro mixing tip on how to mix kicks so that they really cut through in the mix. The kick is the very foundation of your mix, so it is essential that your kick drum is sitting properly in the mix. This mixing trick works almost every time and is much quicker and easier than traditional kick layering.
When mixing music in FL Studio, Ableton, or whatever DAW you're using, you'll often experience that the kick just doesn't seem to work in the mix, and you'll end up replacing the kick countless times before you find one that you're happy with. A kick will often struggle to cut through in the top end once you start adding more sounds in the mix.
By layering in sounds with more transients, such as a closed hat, a clap, and such, you help boost the transients of the kick and allow it to cut through in the high-end. This will help add rhythm and movement in your song, and the mix will sound much cleaner overall. The kick is one of the most important elements in your mix, so it's essential that it works well in the mix.
Mixing and mastering can be difficult, but there are many mixing tricks like this, which are easy to do and makes a huge impact overall, so make sure to check out my other mixing tutorials as well, for more tips and tricks like this. In this mixing tutorial, I'm using FL Studio to mix the kick, but this same technique can be used in any daw.
