Stop thinking so much about correctly this, correctly that. You won't get a single percent better as a producer until you start tweaking knobs and learn what they do. Start doing stuff and stop asking, it's how you learn.
I'm grumpier than you.

Do people even read these?

How about now?

I feel like its too raw now , its certainly improved with the crunch/tok and sounds much better when in beat.

the tok definitely needs to be more prominent. there's a high frequency spike in there as well that's messing up the whole vibe of the kick. the bass and tail and stuff are cool though imo

High frequency of the tok? Is that why it sounds kind of rawish? I think the bass hangs too long tbh.
Cheers for the feedback!

Well gonna have a shot at a second attempt at a kick (H)

the nose of the kick should be more mids, like around 500-800ish. but what i'm hearing is too much 4k-7kish...so that tok or nose of the kick needs to be more prominent and louder but with more of a push in mid range and not highs. overall the vibe is raw and I think you'd need more tone and harmonics in the distortion of the kick to get more of a hardstyle sounding kick

Yeah did what you said getting much nicer sound :) Kick is still not finished , need to layer more. Any advice on the tail of the kick my friend ? The bass is hanging for too long I think , appreciate the feedback!
