My notes from this Short
01
Highs for the click, mids for the body
When I EQ a techno kick, the highs bring out the click, so if you need more punch, add the highs. If you want more character, boost the mids or the low mids. In this range you give a little bit of body to your kick.
If your sub is too overwhelming, take it down. And if it's too soft, boost it.
02
A small cut at 300 Hz
Remove the 300 Hz range, as this is a little bit muddy, but make sure not to overdo it.
03
A low pass for softer techno
If you're making melodic techno or softer techno, you might want to low pass the highs, just to make it a little bit muffled. This works really well with rumble kicks too.
