Downtempo

[pauli]

I agree with manuke about the main loop being one of the main features of the track, it was for me also. I also agree with you pauli about it being a pig to mix ! It fought so hard with the bass. I ended up using a dynamic eq side chained to the bass to bring it under control.

Enjoyed listening to your mix but feel you could of pushed the low end more to give a solid foundation to the otherwise open and ambient track.

Agree, agree and agree. I always undercook the low end... I have some bass problems to solve in my mixing room.

Sidechaining is a really good idea... it never even occurred to me for a second to use it for the loop, though I did use it for the kick/bass. My focus was mainly bringing out the SFX, which seemed important to keep it interesting, since they were the main bits that changed from time to time, but I need to go in there and give that a try... that would make bringing more bass into the mix possible.
