Testing out a new mix for an upcoming project. I feel like I'm close to what I want here. Drums are great. Guitar is aggressive and roaring. The bass I have a hard time judging because I don't have a subwoofer to go with my BX5a monitors. So it's near impossible to mix the low end until I get one. But right now, I need someone to tell me if there's any "pumping" happening with the whole mix. I got everything bussed to a mix bus that's output is the main stereo LR out. On the mix bus, I have a Slate Digital FG-X Mastering Console. It has a compressor and a limiter on it but I'm only using the limiter (using a renaissance compressor for "glueing" to mix together.) I get the loudness up to a level that's loud but doesn't sound like any harm is being done to my dynamics. At least, not through my monitors. But when I play the track on my computer speakers (2.1 speakers w/ sub woofer) The mix sounds great but there's a pumping sensation I can hear prominently at the 00:30 sec mark. But I only hear it through those speakers. Not my BX5a's or even my sound system in my car.
I need to know if I'm crazy or not. Can you hear the pumping on your end?
