Hello guys,
I am new to this forum and there is a problem I have been having for quite a long time.
I mainly produce Drum & Bass and lots of tracks with heavy kicks and bass.
For the past years I have been heavily focusing on mixing skills and improving the sound quality. I think I have become quite good at arranging frequencies and still leaving head room, but I still have the problem that when I listen to one of those tracks loudly, my ears start to get numb, even after mixing and mastering.
Here is one example of what I am talking about. I have worked on this track for quite some time, always made a break before mixing again to get a nice clear crispy sound, but there is still too much low end pressure, even after I mastered it. I think it's always the frequencies around 100-60 Hrz that seem to have this effect on the ears. I would really appreciate some other ears to have a listen to it and tell me, what I could improve to get this damaging frequencies out ( maybe even highs?).
Can anyone please give me feedback and specific advice concerning this example track please:
I would also appreciate any guides, or literature concerning these issues, can you recommend anything specific? I really want to reach the next step in my skills as a producer and I am willing to do whatever is necessary to improve.
Thanks a lot!
