Better than before, but it's still pumping. You scared of bass? lol
 
Maybe I should have just updated the old thread lol - ok I'm going to reply and bump this up.
I just replaced the mp3 in SC so the old thread has the new version.
Thanks dobro - what do you mean by pumping? I'll have to google that because I'm not familiar with the term.
 
Still sounds cloudy to me. The vocal and rhythm guitar are the cloudy things.

And yeah as dobro says, pumping. Rather badly.

The levels of things sound pretty good to me. Song is good.
 
Pumping is when heavily compressed sounds hit like they're hammers covered in cloth.
 
Are you referring to the bass and kick or is there other components too ?
Just trying to focus in on where the pumping is happening and needs to be addressed.
 
To my ear it was happening to a large extent on the bass guitar. It was also quite possibly happening on the kick. If it's happening elsewhere, I think it's minimal.

It seemed more the bass, but my ear couldn't hear if it was the kick as well. Try this for a start on the bass: put a 20 ms attack/70 ms release on the compressor, maybe 3:1 at -20 dB. Tweak from there. Fiddle the ratio and threshold first. Can you get what you want without changing the attack/release much?
 
Ok - we'll try those settings and see if that reduces the pumping.
