Dark Ride: 'Hammer Down'

[mikej]

If you save and print that initial mix, then you can always refer back to it to see if you think you've made things better or worse and if you feel that you are landing somewhere between that initial mix and the reference mix.  I find the effects bypass button is quite handy for this too.  It might just help with the overthinking/overprocessing side of things? You might find that you don't really need to do a whole lot to every track.  Sometimes just a little eq or whatever is enough rather than big moves. 

That is about all I got for now. Good luck.

Cheers!
