I recently did a rather complicated interview over skype and we recorded my DAW screen simultaneously. The result is that you get to learn how I mixed the drums on Joey Prophet's single "Going Home." You can see every single plugin, setting, routing, everything. And we spend quite a bit of time talking about making kick drums hit hard without eating up real estate in the mix. It's about 40 minutes of audio nerdiness heaven. Enjoy :)

nor was I, just pointing out the psycho-acoustic basis of the advice - we are less sensitive to low frequency information and so we need to boost them to what what seems ridiculously high levels to perceive them as being as loud as other parts of the frequency spectrum.

You learn the equation very early in live sound work that you need 10-100 times as much power for the lowest two octaves to be reproduced at the same perceived intensity as the rest of the spectrum combined
