basically this is something you could do with a highpass filter but somehow
this seems a little more nifty.
Get yourself the ancient mda-vst package from
http://mda.smartelectronix.com/
For this you only need 'Mda Loudness'
1.) Put the aforementioned plugin on a channel where
you route kicks that have a desirable attack portion
2.) Turn 'Loudness' to ''-60 db'' (fully left)
3.) Layer with another (possibly lowpassed) kick wich has a body
you like
If you don't turn ''Loudness'' fully left you will get more of the middle-range (punch) qualities of the kick. Even more to the left and you will be left with more or less the lows of the kick.
Experiment.
I think you could run this plugin with the aforementioned -60db setting over entire kick-libraries (in batch mode in sth. like wavelab) to yield an enormous amount of attack layers. imilar to the attack samples in the 'Venegeance Metrum' plugin. We might even be able to exchange these here?
