hey all...
so i'm mixing this new song for my band's quasi-demo.
it starts with just the bass guitar, then drums and vocals, through the first verse. then it drops into a big chorus, and maintains full band throughout.
the problem is... when i get done mixing, i look at the wave, and it, obviously, gets progressively louder through the first verse, then maintains pretty well through the rest. on listening, the intro is basically lost in between other songs. i've tried just simply turning up the bass/drums through the verse, then coming back down at the chorus, but it's WAY too drastic.
how do people do this regularly? there's a song on weezer's blue album that starts with just the bass, and it sounds great. i can't figure out how they do this.
thanks for any tips.
