Try to increase the freq's in the 20Hz area for deep punch and also increase in the 400Hz area. then reduce the freq's in the 50-60 Hz area, cause that's the muddy area.

Believe it or not, there's a hidden agenda behind my reply. What I posted was in fact wrong information. My advice regarding increasing and decreasing frequencies, was the opposite of what I normally would suggest.
Raising the 20Hz level is crazy, and also raising the 400 Hz area. LOL !
The purpose of this reply is to show people that a forum like this can take you several steps back rather than forward
Why's that ?
Because there are so many different opinions regarding music production, and there are so many different people in here who replies to questions. There are all kinds of people in here, from newbies to experienced producers, but it is impossible for anyone to know who's got the right answers and who's got the wrong answers.
Well, one could say there's no right or wrong answers in music production, yeah there are many ways of doing things, but from what I have read in different books, there are some common techniques that most producers use. If you follow them as a basic rule you should be on the right track. However, following advices in this forums can lead you on a completely wrong track. That's my point.
How can anyone know if he or she can rely on the information given, when there's so many different opinions on the same subject ?
Take my answer for instance, some people may actually take my answer as the right way of doing things. So, they spend a lot of time producing with this as a fundament, but later on they discover that is was just bull, and they have to start all over again.
I know there are many good advices in this forum, but there are also many, many bad advices.
So, my conclusion is: as a source of knowledge, this forum (and others) is basically worthless.
Instead, rely on your self, your own ears, and use education and books as a source of knowledge.
Of course, if you just want to ask simple questions as; "where do I get that synth cheap" you could always use a forum like this.
