I will say, using a spectrum analyzer there is quite a bit of sub energy. I don't really feel like is a detriment to the sound of your mix. My speakers aren't woofing out, nor are my headphones. I feel like this song (as I stated about it before) actually needs a large amount of bass to get the proper energy out of it. . .
I'm not trying to hijack your thread, but I have been wrestling with the low end of my mixes for a long while (as documented in this forum). I'd like to have a discussion about this with a lot people on this forum. There are just many questions I have about the feeling of sub energy vs keeping it very clean as it pertains to a spectrum analyzer. The whole "keep the bass equal to the vocal peak during the chorus" mentality makes sense, but sometimes it just feels like a song requires extra sub energy to get the proper feel that you are trying to emote.
Here is a song by Nine Inch Nails. The low end is off the charts! http://s300.photobucket.com/user/Draper_...a.jpg.html
I've actually stayed up at night wondering if what I hear is just wrong when I have a rock mix with a bunch of low end...
Any input?
