Re: Creating a good kick drum sound (punchy)
I've been able to create a great sounding Metal Kick from a mushy recorded thump with the combination of a 4-band EQ and an Expander/Gate. You can also use a compressor/limiter to boost/even out the volume and cut out the frequencies you don't want. Believe me, I really had a bad recording for the kick and literally transformed it into a solid Metal Kick using the above method.
Peace...
