Great idea....Let me make a phone call.

Edit : Solera gives you a comp, a dcomp, an expander, a dxpander in a single unit.
Alchemist gives you the same but in multiband.

Tonal control has it's uses and I'm not adverse to using it on occasion. Personally though, I would never so much as load it until I get to the mastering stage.

I suppose the most obvious question I have to start with is, Have you mono'd the Kick and the Bass, then using mid/side EQ, filtered out the sides

Whilst I'm on the subject of working with the kick,and seeing as you mentioned electronic music too, just something i thought, I would put out there. Deadmau5 for example filters out everything on the kick below 120hz and sometimes as much as 150hz. This allows the bass freedom to pound the speakers!

Just another thought. If your bass is the key part of your song, you could always filter out the low parts of every instrument which goes into that 150 to 250 hz range! Just not completely though. I would reduce rather than remove.

Actually this is possible... because, when you load reference track into TB, it approximate tonal balance of the whole song, and you were probably comparing just some parts of the song against that approximation?

 

Nope, I loaded the reference track via TB's menu, so it calculated the frequency response of the whole track, then I played the same track from beginning to end with the spectrum setting set to "infinite", and it showed that the reference track had too much bass compared to.... the reference track!

 

Obey the plugin!
