Ahh thanks mate!
Yeah, I wasn't sure if it would seem appropriate to introduce a new movement at the end, or to just end it as I did with the introduction of a different synth layer into an outro! We'll see :]
And for the kick, I'll see what I can do -- in the final mixdowns, I might just have the levels up. Otherwise, I might make the sidechain on the bass more intense to bring it out more. I'll also look into seeing what frequences I can cut to bring out the kick more (haven't spent a ton of time on the technical mastering aspects yet).
Also, a question for you guys: So my friend thinks the bass needs to be deeper. Thoughts? Agree/disagree?
And @Renin, yeah, I was too carried away with this one to give it the gauntlet of tests! I'll defs do it when I do the mixdowns and whatnot. Luckily I'm getting a pretty nice pair of Sennheiser headphones soon which have a decent reputation as studio monitors (HD 280 Pro).
