It's so rare to get a peice of music where you have the chance to put the bass somewhere other than dead center so since we had just the single guitar strum in the verse, I jumped at the chance to move the fundamental to one side.
I checked phasing pretty carefully so there shouldn't be much of that. (I also put the PAZ plugin on the master bus and had that up several times so I know that phasing issues are only sporadic transients from cymbal crashes, as you would expect.) I do admit that I had problems with that kick drum. he played pretty lightly and had a pretty resonnant drum so you don't get the rock "THWACK" that you might be looking for. After your comment though, I did go back through and bring the kick up a bit. I also went through and added som e automation to bring out the crash cymbals a bit more and to elevate some of the candy in this tune as well as balancing the vocals better. So it woun't sound much different but it's a better mix.
