Another attempt!

[Lammy]

And Lammy, I think those sustained bass notes are, again, a fundamental feature of the "style", hence their level! Perhaps their "effectiveness" depends on the means by which one is listening to the track? I use a pair of Presonus Eris E8 monitors and, to me, they do not overwhelm; perhaps on headphones they might sound more prominent.

emmrecs, no problem. In fact I'm reluctant to comment when the comment risks to go too much down the line of "I'd done this, I'd prefer that". Trespassing the line from objectiveness to personal taste is easy.
Bass balance is anyway priority and super-easy to get objectively wrong unless listening conditions are ideal. A/B with reference material usually helps.
If you're happy with your bass, I'm happy :-)

In my humble opinion, gentlemen, the waveform visuals are a great tool, especially for simple phase alignment in the drums... but make sure you're listening with your ears and not with your eyes (although I've not had the problem in Reaper you guys are talking about).

Sure, I zoomed in since I heard it (not the other way around). Ears rule!

cheers
