Hello,
I recently recorded a live mix, the mix was very good, but the kick drum came thru much louder than I realized and now the recorded mix is extremely kick heavy( I think it bled thru all the vox mics too). I use ableton live to record and mix. I have used it enough to have a basic understanding of the program, but am not sure what the best way would be to just reduce the kicks which peak well over everything else. Unfortunately the recording is a stereo board mixdown, so everything is on 1 track. I greatly appreciate anyone's help in advance. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, even if it's just pointing me to someone with a similar post.
Well, there's the easy stuff, like trying to find a good sub frequency to reduce. You could always try multiband compression. On an entire mix recorded in stereo, your options are a bit limited. Good luck.

If the kick is sitting on it's own at the bottom of the mix, you could just EQ it to France and back.
If there's a bass, then it becomes a lot harder. SACRIFICE! Limit the shiznit out of the low end and bring it up/down as much as reasonable.

I'd like to clarify, SoundBlasters will do the job.
But they'll do a bloody awful one.
