In my home studio I use a couple of powered KRK V4 monitors which I purchased used from Adrian Bradford and they don’t have a huge amount of bass response so I tend to mix the bass too high when I mix in my room. The usual process for me is to take a mix and try it in my car, on my iPod, on my stereo. If I’m really lucky I mix in a full blown studio. I’m posting this remix based on listening to the track over the last few days on different systems. I’ve dropped the bass and drums down, done an overall bass cut, and done a more agressive stereo mix. See if you think it sounds better? It might not if you are listening to it on computer speakers. It is always a compromise.

Fantastic! I love this piece! It invokes images of men rapidly and aggressively tearing away at chicken legs in the spirit of the ol’ country fair eating contests! A long row of men carnivorously chomping on various chicken parts as big bowls beside them speedily fill up with meatless bones, all filmed in quick-time motion like the old Charlie Chaplin movies! I like it.
I like the bass levels. Needs more cowbell, though.
