Try layering some 909 kicks under the kicks in the drum loop to give it more *umph* Also try raising the mids and high ends of the drum loop, and play around with distortion too on it That's what I did for this track and I think it turned out pretty well www.box.net/shared/573ihjs6m5c4i3fume8f

It's a really basic kick sound, you may already have it somewhere in a vst or something The sound itself is very basic and is often heavily distorted or put through effects It's used a lot in this track and in some different ways with effects and such But the basic sound is more of an *umph* sort of feeling with not much higher end to it, because of that it works well under other, weaker kicks since you don't hear it much but you can feel the difference. I don't have a sample specifically from the 909, but I can easily make something similar with oscillators: www.box.net/shared/0m717joli58rhotlgz5lFor using it like I described I'd suggest EQing the higher frequencies down a little, it's just supposed to be supplementary. If you want to use it by itself though I'd suggest running it through some slight distortion to give it some more power, if you turn the distortion waaaaaaay up on it you can get a hardstyle kick drum sound. Also for the song to make the intro a little less empty you should use some distortion. I've pretty much gotten into a habit of setting up a master reverb auxiliary input and using FX sends to bus the other instruments to it, that way I have them all running on the same reverb but I can easily control how much of the sound is put through the reverb. It's also nice in that I can control the panning on the reverb specifically, like panning the reverb of an instrument opposite to the panning of the instrument itself or focusing the panning in the middle.
