You could take some of the guesswork out of some of it and use a VU meter plugin. Solo the kick and make it sit at -7db. Then add the bass until you reach -4db. Could be any number as long as you get an increase of 3db. Got this tip from the guys who produced the last couple of Behemoth albums. Works for me.

I appreciate this sooo much man. There is so much to learn getting into mixing and seeing people do basic things like volume balancing really helps. I swear its so hard to find information that doesn't assume I already have a deep understanding of every little thing and 10 grand worth of plugins. Great video

And you ACTUALLY GIVE A WARNING ABOUT VOLUME LEVELS!
