As you know, the kick is a very important element and in progressive house music needs to thump pretty loud. I myself mix while I produce so I have my kick sounding exactly the way I want it with my other instruments but the one issue I am having is that it's still -4.5 db. Meaning it is coming in a little too hot compared to my other instruments that are between -6.5-9 db. I am still new at this so is this where I would add something like distortion to my kick (get the kick louder but saving 1.5 db of headroom? Or am I just way to obsessed with these numbers?
