BASS — the chain that keeps low end steady
==========================================
1. High-pass             30 Hz (removes rumble you cannot hear but the limiter can)
2. Mono below 120 Hz     utility / stereo tool set to mono in the low band
3. Compressor            4:1, attack 10 ms, release 80 ms, 3-4 dB gain reduction
4. Dynamic dip           -2 dB at the kick's fundamental, keyed off the kick if you can
5. No reverb             use a very short room (under 0.4 s) at most, or nothing

Cubase: StudioEQ -> Compressor -> MonoToStereo/Mix6to2 for the mono fold.
FL Studio: Fruity Balance/Stereo Shaper -> Fruity Parametric EQ 2 -> Fruity Limiter.
Ableton: Utility (Bass Mono on) -> EQ Eight -> Compressor.
