i think there is not that the problem, they have a lot of space in the room to play all the frequencies....will try sidechain |

if the monitors were too close to the wall then they would be more bassy if anything. hence he'd compensate by cutting the bass and the track would sound too thin.. for the mix to turn out too bassy it's more likely his listening position is in the middle of some big standing wave or somethin that is cancelling out a lot of bass so he's compensating by pumping the bass right up
i think part of what makes it sound so booomy is the length of the bassline notes is really long so it just sounds almost like one long note playing instead of a 'rolling' bassline. maybe try using an envelope or something on it to get some space between the notes

well, i knows that sound stupid but i think i solve one of my problems...the reason why the bass on other systems is louder is because in the monitors the lowcut is in 80hz...now i try Flat, and heard really loud thanks u all people |

like i said dude, sounds like the frequency response of where you're sitting in the room is severely lacking in bass, so when you take something you've mixed out of the room to somewhere where the response is flatter then your mixes sound way too bass heavy.
i would try moving around your monitors and listening position in the room and maybe try using some room eq software to see what the response in your room is like. might want to invest in some bass traps as well |

Here is my opinion on your track,
Where is the kick drum? The biggest problem [in reality] is that the bass is quite mono sounding, needs more note variation possibly.
Here's what I would do...run about 8 compressors for the kick lol [thats just what i do] anyway listen at the lowest volume most of the time while sometimes checking at higher volumes and mix the send level of the compressors [each with slightly different release/attack/thresh settings] and max that track out, with a nice pounding kick and some more bass variation [i've scrapped sooo many tracks because they just sounded friggen mono] Also never use too much compression or you will loose the ''thud'' or impact from the kick drum, but it all comes down to...well maybe i don't like a kick drum like that? hehe good luck, there is sooo much more than I have even mentioned here...but this is JUST my opinion.
GOOD LUCK CHEERS.
