Chilly…Funky….perfect fit.

(Question: why do you put bass so much into the back….it deserves to be more prominent)

Thank you Key, appreciated.

I don’t know? Perhaps it’s my setup. Normally I try to match the drums’ volume. Is it too low for you?

Well, I think sometimes you could make it more prominent. But that’s of course a taste thing.

I might have a little too much bass on my speakers. I will take a look at it, thanks for mentioning it.

I’m with Key… often think you could up the bass volume. To be fair, I struggle with bass levels when mixing. A little recommendation: try testing the levels in crappy headphones. (My theory is that most people listen to music in crappy headphones.) ;)

Yeah, I bet you’re right. I always turn down the volume to about 1/3, a trick producers often do. But I will look into my soft bass ;)

Your bass is perfect here. Well done! When I heard Admiral’s track, I immediately thought “Martijn should add bass… bet he will.” :D
