Quote:3. Lots more low end... I turned off the subwoofer while mixing the low frequencies to ensure I had enough bass. In order to prevent the low-range buildup that was fooling my perceptions, I used very light side chain compression in a few places and high-pass filtered the entire mix just under 20 Hz for more headroom.
Always a good idea. Because this is synth and sample based song, you could try using mid/side HP EQ also. Set the Mid to 20Hz like you have and set the sides to 100HZ to 120Hz. Set the Side to a frequency that gives you the most powerful focused low end. Most clubs mono everything under 120Hz. You can do this with the Brainworx bx-control plugin also.
