Reply to Kicking EQ's for Noobs

HI guy's, Lot's of Sentence's ahead, with one main question

So yeah I'm a noob with no sound engineering background I just love music and making it. I wanna start posting my stuff up on sound cloud but I first wanna make sure I'm happy with it. I'll start of by letting you know that I use Pre Sonus Studio One 2.

So I mainly make house music, and I get my drum sound 's mainly from vengeance essential house 1 and 2 and the sample library from macshine.
How ever I'm really not happy with my kick drum. I can never seem to get that professional sharpness out of my kick such as from the likes of Dirty South, Avacii, SHM, etc. Don't get me wrong it's not like I want my stuff to sound exactly like there's or that I wanna be them, I just don't wanna give my stuff out to a dj one day and the song sounds crap because of the kick.

Usually when I put a kick, all is good till I put synths, Then I try put the standard Studio one compressor and EQ with presets such as The DB rock or some thing of the like, but when I do do this it drowns out the rest of the instruments, I've recently started putting limiters but then it sort of makes the kick sound very back groundish, if that makes any sense, I then Have to put alot of gain on the compressor.

So if you made it this far and have any suggestions I would greatly appreciate them. Oh yeah I also have the kjaerhus audio effect pack if your more experienced with that. Thank you
