Looking for fatter kick, snare, and bass? You need the Fat Fader technique. It’s nothing new, but it works so well that I had to include it on 5 Minutes To A Better Mix.
Add That Little Something Extra
If your drums and bass tracks are sounding good, but are lacking that little something extra, a little parallel compression on the kick, snare, and bass can go a long way to giving you the fatness and glue that you’re looking for. Plus doing all of this on a separate fader gives you complete control in the mix, especially when it comes to automation.

My name is Graham Cochrane and I'm the founder of The Recording Revolution, one of the world's most loved audio recording and mixing blogs with over 200,000 readers each month. 
This is a great tip. In relation, a friend of mine just showed me a similar approach for brightening a mix. Send everything except for the bass and drums to a bus, add a compressor and raise to taste.

Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the pictures on this blog loading? I’m trying to figure out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
not that much of a online reader to be honest but your sites really nice, keep it up! I’ll go ahead and bookmark your site to come back down the road. All the best
Everything said made a lot of sense. However, what about
this? what if you wrote a catchier post title? I am not
saying your content is not solid, but what if
you added a title that makes people desire more? I mean 5 Minutes To A Better Mix II: The Fat Fader – Part 11 of
31 | The Recording Revolution is a little vanilla. You ought to glance at Yahoo’s home page and
watch how they create post titles to get people interested.
You might try adding a video or a picture or two to get readers excited about everything’ve got to say.
Just my opinion, it would make your posts a little livelier.
