Mix 5 and 6 were okay, but I still wasn't completely satisfied. It took another hour tweaking only the percussion track. Probably a dozen passes of tweaks on just that track and another 6 with the rest of the tracks included. It was worth the effort, IMHO. Suddenly the entire mix got WAY louder. The limiter was set to a 5dB gain increase on mix 4, and now it's lowered to 3db and still considerably louder than the previous attempts. The stereo width is almost diamond shaped. I forced more out to the sides, at 3db, 5dB and 6dB, but although the shape changed, the song seemed disconnected into various parts. Check it out.
Peace,
