the venue was fairly empty.. by reference a track do you mean like mid-side mastering or something else? did play a professional track before mine to make sure the speaker levels were ok.. i was standing near the speakers at one point, then back from them..
thanks for the replies so far. maybe it ...

so i have a track pretty much finished.. all the levels seem pretty good.. sounds good on my krk rokit 8's and it sounds good in the car... but, i got a chance to play it at an actual venue and the hihats and crashes were piercing. im glad that i got to hear it on a big system in order to know that ...

Thanks for the tutorial, it was very helpful. I was wondering if you had an email address that i could send you some ableton specific questions to? I need some tips on ordering my effects in ableton in order to get the best sound, and tips on settings for my kick/sub sidechain and snare/midbass ...

so i know theres a whole slew of software out there and at the end of the day it all comes down to what works best for you.. so im going to just create a hypothetical situation for this question. lets say you use ableton and massive. obviously massive is where most of the mid range basses come from ...
