Same thing for the stereo image: It is not simple to get it clear as it should be, especially in the low frequencies.
Could be about the drums. I decided to use a drum replacer early on and have about a 50/50 mix of original and my own samples, along with parallel compression and saturation, and sidechaining a dynamic EQ on the bass bus. There's just so much going on in the low end that I felt it necessary to aggressively carve out a place for the drums.
I guess I just wonder if it's necessary to make the low end stereo. The bass tracks all came as mono and it didn't occur to me to change that.
