From my experience, getting deeph oomphs is a matter of mixing sounds
together. It's easy to alone, but when you start to add different
sounds to it, overall impression loses it. The trick is to make stuff
dynamic, it got me year to understand this. So try to start with huge
headroom and then work your way through. If you want huge oommphh, you
cannot have huge everything else. It is the little sounds that make
another sounds big.
