Not quite. I'm hopefully moving home shortly and will be updating the computer as part of the move so avoiding downloading any software at the moment just to avoid the ball ache of moving it all across. I have got a Cubase VST equaliser on the master channel which has a visual output - although it has no smoothing or fancy analysis tool on it. Most of the track is peaking at around 150Hz - even if I solo the bass and/or drums, and there's a bit of a hole around 500Hz on the track in general.

That blokes a bit Jarvis. Jarvis Cocker - off his rocker

Hmm. I wanted a bit of a thuddy bass feel, but pushed up the mids as far as I could before it lost the sound I wanted - at least on phones. I think that the problem is that the phones may be a bit too good on the bass even though they're the (I assume) cheapish ones that came with the interface.

Yes its a stereo track but pretty much centre balanced. I think phase issue was what I was getting at but is there a solution?

In my OP.

I've noticed recently that the bass on some of my recordings disappears when played through my laptop speakers. I know it's not going to give a deep booming sound, but it reproduces bass on commercial recordings OK. Bass on my recordings is loud and clear though phones and on my wireless speakers but virtually non existent on the laptop. I'm assuming it's something to do with either EQ or other instruments fighting the bass on the speakers. Any ideas? If you want an example this month's competition entry is a case in point. I'd be grateful if you could have a listen though laptop speakers and phones and see if you get the same thing, as well as any ideas as to how to resolve the issue. Here
