Making the bass drum stand out
Forums
I've been practicing mixing on my old recordings to prepare for my band's new material and my main problem seems to be making the bass drum stand out. I've been using Waves SSL 4000 and it sounds good alone but when I add all the other stuff in they get lost.

Pflumpf (spelling?) of bass drum a result of soft clip?
Forums
I'm trying to get that smooth high frequency pflumpf (did I spell it right?) of the bass drum in professionally mastered songs. Is it just an artifact of a really expernsive volume maximizer with soft clip? Or of tape saturation? Do my ears deceive me that the soft clipping is also a bit wider in the stereo field?

'Double Mic' the Bass Drum?
Forums
I have recently come across something. I have recently made my own "experimental" mics and one is very good at picking up high and mid frequencies and the other (being of large diaphragm make) picks up the lower frequencies. Individually these mics would be terrible at Micing the bass drums, however, I placed the both mics in the bass drums and it produces an excepional sound.
