From the common knowledge pool regarding mixing and mastering here on the forum, I tried to extract some wise suggestions.

When you play bass is it peaking the meters (Turning red)
What speakers do you have, and what settings do you have on them?

the volume does not go up on red. speakers are pioneer cs-777 (pretty old) set to normal bass/treble

Is it possible in some way to sidechain the bass and basdrum together in ableton 6? It seems like a pretty standard mixing ingredient so would be nice to know a way to do it in ver6.

i find that operator basses with sine waves very easily get distorted in the speakers. i suppose it is somewhat dependent on the speakers quality but is there in general a certain freq i shouldnt go below?

thx for the tips!
for now i only use one operator bass with no freq layering so i'll give it a try.
as i have ableton 6 i cant use spectrum and can only use the more limited compressor but should work anyways.

Often when I try to incorporate more distinct basses in my mixes they often end up to loud and noisy. They tend to distort the other channels and take over the mix too much. It is hard to hear this effect using my headphones (akg k141)and it tends to only happen when I play the mix in loudspeakers ...

Just made a new tune using ableton 6 and minimoog. enjoy and please comment!

thanks for the informative replies! I actually did mix almost all my channels wt eight-band on my last two-three songs and i think it gives a more dynamic sound than if i hadnt. i find it separates the channels easier. for example i muted all freq above maybe 300-500 on basdrum and everything under ...
