Im getting really frustrated in the fact that my recent garage tunes dont sound lively enough and aint got the kick like some of the big time producers out there such as sticky,narrows and sirus.Im using reason and fruityloops 3,could anyone give me any advice on producing something special? Cheers!

Remeber, there are lots of skills out there to learn and big time producers often have experience. If you say you havn't got liveliness and impact, you might not be using swing on you drums and compression properly on most things for that punch. If there's a feature on your software that you havn't used yet, give it a go, and see what happens. Trial and error is the best way to learn.

You can also use an audio editor (like Wavelab or Soundforge) to analysing the beats in your favourite garage track. Try and determine where the kicks, hihats, snares etc come in.
