@milesy: i think he is going for db values not frequencys. advice on that would be interesting to mee, too.

i think kick should be @ approx -6 db.

that's a good basis to get the other stuff worked out from as the kick is somwhat central in tech.

a good tip for hats is to make them linear in volume, so they fade out when you take the gain down on your tune. if you turn your tune's volume down, the hats should go down with it :!: , if they still stick out as everything else is getting much quieter, you will know they are to loud and need to be turned down in volume.
