    I still have 6db of headroom left after only compressing 1x on my master fader channel... But, did I compress it too much or too little?
    It's also a techno tune for anyone in question of what type/style of music it is.

    it's ok, just bring it up a little until you only have -3dbfs headroom left. If you want you can even go till you have around -1db headroom and then just place a limiter on it so it doesn't peak in the red.

    If the track is distorting when you leave -3dbfs or -1dbfs headroom, you're prolly doing something wrong, otherwise you should be fine :wink:

    Pretty good kick though *yes*

    Thanks for the input Guys..
    I think I can fix the bass problem. I am pretty sure, I just removed too much of the "feeling part" of my low end stuff. And as for my tune's peak level increasing my volume another 2-4 db should be no problem either.
    No, I didn't use any Limiters on it. *no*

    :wink:

    It doesn't sound overcompressed to me, but it lacks bass indeed.
