I've only tried to use compression on my vocals or when ever I record my 
guitar. I tend not to use it as much on my midi instruments. Maybe that's the 
problem I'll try that. Thanks much.

  I have that problem sometimes also. You have to keep messing with the 
frequencies and gain levels in the bands. Also, are you adding a compressor 
from the sonitus effects? That helps as well.

    I have done that and it does help sometimes, but I find that it doesn't 
remove the boomyness. I don't have a problem with bass, but I know that it 
shouldn't overpower the rest of the mix.

      You might want to try and add a high shelf setting in your e q's.

        I have 2 questions for all you experts.
        1 How do you find unwanted frequencies and remove them? How do you get 
the most out of a kick drum or a bass guitar if it's too boomy sounding? I 
wouldn't want to remove all the low frequencies, because then it would sound 
flat, but at the same time I wouldn't want to overpower the mix. 

        2 How would I remove hiss from a loop that I downloaded? I would like 
to get the most out of these loops, but some of them are messy sounding.
