The way I do the bottom end is trying to connect start from the beater of the kick and end with the bass's sustain in a continuous/seamless single note or whatever. If I let the sub dominate then it's purely for my own listening pleasure. And yes, to Roy, there's magic down there.
To mikej, glad you noticed the vocal sticking out on mix 5. Well, I heard mastering engineers say that they can EQ the vocal and do whatever they do with it in stereo/master bus. I was like, really? So I did a slight boost in the 800-900Hz, the place where it did the least damage and still helped me lift the vocal out of the mix. So I got one (louder vocal) but lost the other (too much mid). It could be bc of many things but it doesn't matter bc your observation answered my questions. I just need to be finer with my moves. Thanks, man.
