yea - I used to have this tendency to blast the sub bass but after playing my tracks on a system it was clear that it needed to come down. I followed some of macc's advice from here on this track (plus this track has no compression on it right now)
macc wrote:Sorry if it isn't really answering your question, but -3 is way too high.
Remember that 6dB is half. So if you have one element at -6, that is half your headroom gone. Two elements at -6dB each = all your headroom gone. Having the drums at -3 will leave you fighting against clipping and struggling to keep everything down and under control.
Rather, set your drums for *around* -8 / -10 (ie, a bit less than half). The bass - if we are talking a pure sine sub - would probably sit best a dB or two below that, any distorted/fullband bass sounds should be effectively treated as different entities and mixed appropriately (due to Fletcher Munson).
This leaves you with a few dB headroom, and everything else is just parsley. No more fighting anything, you *will* get
repeatable and consistent levels in your mixes, and better mixes as a result.
