So I’m recording supeior drummer 3 drums and playing them out (with my bass) through a JBL eon615 and an alto ts312 subwoofer. The kickdrum is coming out extremely muddy. I put “close mic audio from instruments” kick off and that helped a little. But still muddy. What can I do?

You need to filter out the offending frequencies with an EQ. If the kick is muddy along with the bass, you will need to decide which one will occupy that frequency spectrum. More often than not, the low end is a delicate area when it comes to mixing.

you might also want to check the level and placement of your subwoofer. That alone could give you a false sense of bass and throw off your entire mix.

Thanks. The subwoofer is on the ground… How do I EQ the specific drums?
