i'm havin trouble with bass. or my ears are fekkin shot..

or maybe your room accoustics, or you listen for to long periods. try and compare prof. mastered tech/electronic stuff u like preferably from cds (no mp3) to your stuff nad see where the differences lie. make use of programs to put eq-curves created from prof. mastered stuff over your stuff, u'll most likely see some points.

examples for progs like this would be:

- voxengo's curveeq
- elemental audio's firium
- steinbergs freefilter

another tip would be to cut the bass from anything that doesn't need or should'nt have to much bass in it, such as hihats, claps and whatever.

cut the lows from high sounds and vice versa very generally speaking.

try voxengo's soniformer to balance your mixes, maybe,
but i'd really recommend looking at professionaly mastered stuff using the programs listed or just an fft / spectrum analysis program/ plugin.

maybe that helps u a little ;)
