first mix

[Olli H]

One last thing... Did I detect a spinal tap reference in your post?

Now that you mentioned it, I do realize that the "volume 11" was in that movie. But when I was writing it, I didn't have it in my mind. I could have used also something like "volume to southeast" but I'm not sure if that's only a Finnish or international way to say "very loud".

If you try that low-pass listening trick, listen first some great recordings with top mixers to get idea how the bass and kick should sound in that mode. I found that idea from one of Dave Penasado's videos.
