Darkride - Deny Control

[MATW]

Thanks, Roy =) If I don't pay attention to Reference (great plugin for checking your mix with reference mixes) or use my headphones for comparison, I almost always end up with a very bass-heavy mix with too much energy at around 60 Hz and below. My room is not ideal, so I have to rely on my headphones and plugins like Reference to get the low-end right, which usually works. I used "My Curse" from Killswitch Engage as a reference for my mix, and I had to cut back the low end of the kick drum quite a bit this time. I then listened to other mixes here on the forum, but in direct comparison with My Curse, they were all significantly more bass-heavy. I ultimately decided to stick with My Curse in terms of the low end, because Killswitch was also used as a reference for the original mix. The good thing is that this can be fixed very easily if the mastering engineer wants me to raise the low end before mastering.
