Check the stickied post at the top of the forum for threads on limiting and/or compression and/or EQ and/or post-processing generally.

I see you were using omni caps.  You could also try a high pass filter, maybe in the neighborhood of -12dB/octave @ 80Hz +/- 5-10KHz.  It would take out some of the lower 'thump' of the kick, though it would not address the issue if there's too much 'attack' in the kick drum sound.

"Help, my tapes suck...."

You're right I think you should quit taping and give me all your gear so you don't have to suffer any more >:D
