hehe na mate i wus just sayin, u know how it iz dude, i can make a fat bassline but as soon as u put the elements together u gota comprimize and scacrifice some energy of either the kick -(hopfully not) or bassline. which for me involved compression on the kick, i dint want to do that , but i couldnt be bothered to make one that would suit my stubbon bassline. u c?
happend last nite, elads theory brillaint on its own soon as akick is added make no difference anyways, that was my point so comprimise
peace

bit of comp on the kick and a a couple of comps on the bass (perhaps a sidechain from the kick), plus then another group comp to tie k&b together. This is what I'm using on the tune I'm working on now. Use a spectral analyser. Definitely carve out a lot of the low wooly freqs on the bass eq 100 - 200 hz (I was surprised at how much I had to carve out to really make it sound good), similar on the kick, but no too much! In the analyser The kick should just sit ontop of the bass for most of the freqs. get a pro released tune and find a section that's just kick and bass. Sample it and load into your sequncer. do lots of A/Bing tween the pro version and yours. granted it will be mastered (unless you have access to some stems from a professionally produced track), but you should be able to get the kick and working together in the low freqs and the higher ones too. think about these parts of the sounds separately. Be prepared to spend quite a bit of time just sorting out the kick and the bass before you move on  it's worth it
i recommend getting the book 'mixing with your mind' if you aren't sure how to use a compressor, or theres plenty of other tips on here...
oh I also like tweaking a compressor while standing up - coz it affects the groove - and basically the more i find myself grooving(ie dancing baby!), the better i consider the settings to be

i use [sometimes] up to 16 compressors on my kick and 8 [or more sometimes] on the bassline. I use send level and mix the appropriate amount. Usually every compressor is no more than 1 to 5% (!) send level .., and also, every digital and analog compressor i have i put in different release/attack settings depending on what sound I'm after...
For me...I run about 10-20 waves Q10-EQ's, on almost in every track in any song i make. I can't seem to get a good sound without doing mega pseudo-stereo-eq tricks, on each track as well. The Q settings always vary with each sound.
I always seem to cut out -30hz in every track [in the mixing process.] There was one time I didn't and then I learned that its really the only way to fly, Q settings depend on what sounds good, and what sounds like shit. Sometimes my cpu is maxed out on only one track of audio lolz [main DAW is an Athlon 64 6600].

whoa. so much for fixing it at the source...
might as well just work with 32 sine waves.

...its not like that, I do know that too much processing can totally destroy sound but...when your using TINY [1-5%] amounts you could almost say your using about only one full compressor altogether, but the difference is that there are many different sound artifacts you accumilate when you run the sound through so many sources, and of course not to mention the different attack/release settings. For example when I'm using digital compressor plugins, I opt for waves api, vintage, ssl, sonnalsiks-sv's, the abbey road plugins,the URS ones, more i can't think of, plus one custom software one that an audio-engineer designed for me. Little changes add up to B I G results. try it yourself!

i don't know if you mean that totally serious, but belive me, putting such an amount of comps and eqs is not the right way.
every eq-plug will chance your phase of the signal since its an active element....
