Right on... and this is what I'm getting at. Much to my chagrin, I've been forced to use a sub lately...which is a bit alien to me as I've never really needed one. I work with a LOT of metal projects, and it seems everybody keeps tuning down. I'm finding the majority of my mixing time is spent clearing a path for the bass guitar, kick drum, and low E of the guitar... well Low E would be nice...it's actually of late been Low C, Low B, Low A, and EVEN LOW F!!! Damn you Meshuggah, and your influence on the kids these days!
Yow... so a sub is doing me good these days.....but it's, in my opinion, not a given necessity for all.
