Hi all.
I've been working on a remix for a few weeks now and can't seem to be satisfied with the end product. It's a bass heavy house track and the bass seems to be ruining the mix. I tried reducing the gain, reducing frequencies, making space for the bass by cutting off frequencies on other instruments, but still, I get that awful scratchy and clipping sound. I tried reducing compression and gain on drums also because I know that sometimes the drums interfere with other instruments. I can't seem to find a good drum-bass balance without ruining the mix.
I guess my ears adapted to the bass being too loud over the weeks and now I can't seem to be satisfied with any mixdown I do. My tracks aren't clipping, far from it. Which gives my master a good 6db of headroom. It still sounds like it's clipping due to the bass.
I tried mastering the track and that's when I realized something was wrong in the mix.
Have any of you encountered this issue before? I feel lost and I want to complete this track.
Thank you!
