And on further listen, a bit much on the master limiting IMO
I respect everyone's opinions, but that really can't be true! It could very well be the kick is compressed too hard in the mix, because the limiter is only holding back 2-3 db max. Using phones, the kick is almost always too quiet in them, so I bump it up, but then it is always the cause of a compressor going overboard.
If you are hearing something "smash against a wall", are you sure it's the entire track and not just the kick or maybe even snare? Just trying to get to the root of this issue. I'm wondering what it is you're hearing exactly
