Your kick out mic can be the muddiest thing in your mix.
There's almost always a big buildup in the low mids, somewhere around 100 to 200 hertz, and then that boxy mid-range on top of it. If you're not dealing with both of those, the kick just sounds like a thuddy mess or a basketball bouncing on a gym floor.
In this video I walk through three different ways to mix a kick out mic on the Behringer Wing. First one keeps it simple with just the default gate, EQ, and compressor. Then I take it further with the dbx compressor and the Maxxer EQ for more bottom end and top end.
The big takeaway is there's no one way to do it. It depends on your drummer, your mic, and your room. But having a few approaches in your back pocket means you're not guessing on Sunday morning.

Bass guitar is either making your mix sound huge or turning everything into mud. There’s really no in between.
It’s one of the most common problems I hear from church sound teams. The low end is boomy, or the bass disappears when the band gets loud. Or it might sound fine in soundcheck and then falls apart during the service when the room is full of people.
Most of the time the fix isn’t complicated. It’s knowing what to cut, how to control the dynamics, and how to use the tools your X32 already has to get the bass to sit where it needs to sit.
I just put out a full video walking through exactly how I mix bass guitar on the Behringer X32. EQ, compression, inserts, the whole signal chain from start to finish. If your low end has been giving you problems, this one is for you.
