You know I've always been a fan of your kicks Krim. And try as I might, I just can't get them as good as you do. But CC just tipped me off to using saturation on TomCat, and what a world of difference that makes! Tons better than comp's and maximers/limiters and all that.
As a rule though I usually only comp kick and snare. I certainly comp the bass as well, but as a rule I never sidechain it. Then again, I usually prefer the Brian Wilson poppy pick basses. So I try to get the bassline to play as natural as possible to the drums with velocity. IE; da-DA-da-DA, dee-DEE-dee-DEE. Only if it's a real heavy reggae or synth bass will I sideshain it to the BD.

separating kick and bassi never use comps in my tracks (except when mastering, but not in Orion) with one exception..a comp on my 303 channels..they are usually distorted, and i have it to keep my vol levels even when i tweak the filter

separating kick and bassDo you always step enter your beats Krim? I often times 'play' mine, so get varying velocity levels. That's when the comp comes in handy.
But if everything's at static level's velocity wise, then sure - doesn't make a lot of sense comp'ing something that's already comp'd to begin with.

Really? I've always thought that the drums have always let his stuff down.
Distortion works like a limiter, so compression shouldn't be necessary.
If you tweak your presets so that velocity doesn't have such a big effect, compression would be unnecessary. That's why I rarely need compression - there is almost always something else you can do to address those kinds of problems without adding to the complexity of your project.

separating kick and bassKrim's kick's have always been cool by me. Punchy, solid, straight to the brain. I'm not a big fan of 'acid music' per say, but was always impressed how Krim's kicks cut through it all.
And yes Bones, for my weird glitchy stuff I usually take all velocity depths right off and just work the faders if need be. But for acoustic kit's, I usually like a lot. Force of habit from playing the real skins.

both, mostly hand (or rather mouse) place and edited tho for the 'dancey' stuff....and edited quite a lot for variation...not to sound 'human' as such, just to vary the hits a bit Windows 11 Home - 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12400 2.50 GHz -32GB RAM
