Dark Ride: 'Hammer Down'

[mikej]

Really. I thought the world died and the thousand count is just an optical illusion. Either that or we have a lot of time on our hands for us 3 to reach such a large number. Yup, just us 2 and barely Blitzzz. I guess the 3 Zs in his nick is for sleeping. And since only 3 of us are alive, if he wakes up and tells me that, dude, the bass is loud then that would be 66%, 2 out of 3 is convincing enough. Number counts.

I don't mean to say I didn't trust you. I just want to make sure that others agree too, a second opinion, if you will. Because if I acted on it I'd be committing "hasty generalization," a logical fallacy. Experience tells me to err on the side of caution, to wait for more info, data, but still keep an ear out for it as a precaution, not dismissing it. I respect your opinion.

Nah, I'm saying that I agree - you need to be happy that the bass level is right yourself. Of course you take the opinions of others into account and either agree or disagree (which is fine - I think sometimes people on the forum forget that it's ok to disagree with an opinion too ). Ultimately you need to get to a point where you are happy and confident with your mix, and hopefully the majority of listeners will agree it's a good mix too, if everything works out.  

One tip that might help settle on a mix balance is to play the mix through with say just the drums and bass, then just the vocal and bass, etc.  Just pick a couple of tracks at random and see how you feel they sit together.

Sure. I'll try to do it best i can with only panning and volume balance and see. Thanks

I'd also say that it's worth giving yourself a decent break to double check the mix balance before posting, like maybe checking it again the next day or something, which gives the ears a chance to reset.

I recall the only track you might have difficultly settling on a level is the vocal as I think it is a bit quieter in some sections than others.  I picked a level that mostly works for the majority of the track.  The idea is that this might be something to deal with in the next round, so to speak.

Cheers!
