Default Re: Help with editing kick drum track with a dominant foot?

Anyone have any ideas on how to get them to be around the same levels without having to edit the living heck out of the mono track?

I just want the weak beats to blend in with the dominant beats.


Thanks.
Hire a better drummer to come in and replay the track. Seriously!

Aside from that... you can try to trigger/replace the kick drum track with a sample. Set the velocity range so that the weak kick and the strong kick trigger the same kick sample at the same volume. That will even it out.
