Question

Kick and bass keep fighting — what am I missing?

I have high-passed the bass at 40 and carved around 60 on the kick but it still turns to mush in the chorus. Sidechain helps but then it pumps too obviously.

Bounce it to your phone and listen in another room. Cheapest reference check there is.

This is really good. The bridge earns its place.
