Trying to mix 808s and Kick drums. I'm trying to follow instructions from this website:
How to Mix Trap Music
What does this mean:
^What does it mean to "extend the 200hz range" and what are some techniques to do this?
Also, from watching different videos, I am noticing that a lot of people don't low-pass their 808s/kick drums...Wouldn't that be good so that you open up space for your higher-frequency instruments? (ex. make some space for hi hats or something)?

What does this mean:
- The 200hz range: There’s a good amount of punch in your average kick drum around 200 Hz. That range won’t do much for standard 808 which is hanging out below 100hz – but if you are working with a layered kick for punch (something I would consider dubbing into the mix if it isn’t already present) – pushing that range can be very helpful. If you can blend the layered kick under the 808 and extend the 200hz range – you end up getting what basically sounds like a super punchy 808.
