Hi,

Another approach would be to organise with the sound people to get a direct 
line out from the audio mixer for the kick drum's microphone.

That way you could use the same audio input and avoid the bass.

The audio spectrum tool is not precise enough to isolate particular frequencies 
very well individually, but another approach could be to use the mathematical 
expressions patch to combine some of the spectrum outputs. For example you 
could try using the lower frequencies of the spectrum when they are higher in 
volume than the other frequencies, or when a particular combination of spectrum 
outputs peak at the same time.

Cheers
Dave
