The thing ive got is, ive only just had my monitors so my levels are still a bit crap as im not used to the sound of my speakers.

ALSO the when the bass comes in it overtakes the whole piece, everything around it seems to go down. Its not like overly loud and distorted so ... ??
your speakers will need some time to be broken in

careful with maxxbass as well, it can easily be overdone, leaving you with to little real bass. cut the bass from evreything that doesn't need it (say pads, percs, hihats etc.),

you want mainly kick+bass to play in that region. again, as i said, compare your stuff to pro-stuff and see what makes them sound pro.

maybe try sidechaining your bassline to the kickdrum, so the bass is taken down when the kick is pounding.

limit your bass to the bass region, say, cut it below 70-100 Hz and above say 1 khz.

if that doesn't help try applying a wide bellshaped cut (@ say -6 db) @ 400 Hz. or @ 250/ 300 Hz. see what does it.

remember low and fat bass - shorter kick
mid bass - deeper and fat kick
don't make them fight for their space....

you might want to try this little plugin as well (cheating ;) ):

Elevayta Space Boy *Trial version*



What do you need to do when you have two audio sources, with similar spectral content, and you would like to mix them in a balanced way so that each of the individual parts can be heard?

Normally you may spend hours fiddling with the EQ of each source to find the dominant spectral components. Having done this you then need to tweak each EQ until a suitable balance is reached. All the time being sure that a constant volume is achieved.

Using the similar, innovative, communicating plug-in technology used in ‘Clone Boy’, ‘Space Boy’ makes it possible to perform this, normally complex, EQ process in a matter of minutes using just a few sliders.

‘Space Boy’, as the name suggests, provides the means to analyse, in real-time, the spectrum of one audio source and make a ‘space’ in the spectrum of another (target) audio source. Not only this, but the ever changing relationship between the different EQs of each source is automatically accommodated in real-time. This means that EQ adjustments are made only when needed. The target EQ (Rx) is constantly adjusted to accomodate the source EQ (Tx).
