tuning is important, but so is sidechaining and eq'ing...
the basics...
1 - high-pass any tracks that don't need the low-end information. that'll clear up a ton of the "mud" that kicks take up.
2 - high-pass your entire track @ around 15-20hz...most speakers can't play that shit anyway and will just take up room that will drive any compressors you have on the mix bus
3 - sidechain your instruments and key on the kick (or kick/snare). you can "duck" your synths that might overlap frequencies with your kick this way...the heavier the sidechain compression, the more your track will "pump" (they do this in a lot of house/trance stuff...)
- agree with 1, 3 but number 2... you mean LPF but still, terrible advice!kingsteven

- no...i mean high pass...because it lets the "high frequencies" pass...sublocked
- and it's good advice. i've been mixing for years.sublocked
