Adding punch and size to kick drums

Producer Ben Lindell uses the Plug&Mix Clarisonix plugin to add punch, fat and clarity to an electronic kick drum.
The Clarisonix has 3 main controls:
- EQ Focus
- Sub Level & Mode
- Clarity
Tweaking them quickly adds size, weight and presence to the kick drum’s original sound and helps the kick cut through the mix.

I didn't like that this uses a dedicated plugin for the task. How do you accomplish this with standard tools?

I hear very little difference, even on studio monitors. But if you can't hear the difference on consumer audio speakers, is it really worth the time, effort and expense?

Would be better to make the before/after with music playing without the pause

This videos are always very helpful, but this strikes me more of a get this plugin, crank this knob and voila rather than a this is what this is doing and this is why it sounds better, and here were my alternative options. To his credit, he explains it very well and he has succeeded in making me decide to purchase P&M plugins.

P&M plugins were unknown to me before Puremix. They are some of the best plugins I own including one of the best stereo spread knobs on the market.

Great video but I have what I feel is a pretty important suggestion. When you're A/B-ing a plugin on and off. It's really distracting when you stop everything and say 'and now here it is bypassed' and then play.
It would be much better if you just played the song and flicked between bypass on and off as the song is playing so we can listen in pure free-flowing context. I found myself getting impatient every time you stopped the track and explained that you were now enabling the plugin.
I hope this doesn't come across overly harsh but it would be a great tweak to make in the vids!

u saved it for the big speakers but on small speakers it vanished totally even when u added from the clarity knob... parallel subing would work better

Nice one Ben, a quick approach to get an extra punch in the chest.

Great tutorial , and one of the best plugins I own. I love the way you turn it till it sounds right , without all the nasty side effects some eq's add.

Clarisonix is a great 2 knob EQ Low and High. Could have done the same thing with an EQ but it's a good way of showing other ways of working. Personally I liked the kick how it was and though a heavier bass line would have complemented it better, but with the kick sub's frequencies added, it sounded great Too! Good Job!
