Yeah, Scott and Ray, the final decision is with my ears also (for better or worse).  However, the chart does give some options to try for problematic areas. They may or may not work. Again, trust our ears. Using EQ can stop a bass and kick from competing with each other. I did a recording a couple months ago where the bass & kick just wasn't working. Taking a little low-end off the kick solved the problem. It gave the bass more presence. Funny, in this situation, taking some low-end off the kick created an illusion of more kick depth too. It's all about finding a distinct space for every instrument so they're not fighting each other (both panning & EQ). I still have so much more to learn in the recording process. Just hope my ears are up to it. Best, John

"The great thing about a dream come true, is that it is born with a great appetite. That appetite keeps it growing and evolving and it swallows up all those other dreams you have and spits them back out as reality as well." -Brian Austin Whitney
