kick drums and lines on different channels. Use the volume
on each channel to brign them down.

Is it already in 1 stereo file, redo the mixdown and follow the above.

Experiment with EQ too. If your kick is dominating the mix too much as well as taking it's volume down try cutting the top end off so it is more of an underlying thud. But also try rolling off the very bottom frequencies if you are getting too much of that subby "flab" that sounds like it is dragging just behind kicks & basses.

If the groove you have programmed is right but the balance in the mix isn't keep pulling all the faders down & then gradually working them back up until you get it right.
