Wow, thanks! I read all your posts in this thread and tried to learn everything I could, and I'm glad it came out well.
On the kick drums - I don't have proper monitors yet (next month's paycheck) so I mixed that down on some 30 dollar computer speakers. Since I know they suck, I tried my best to use reference albums (metallicas self-titled, especially) and a/b it to fix sound issues. I was always worried about the kick drums being too loud actually, glad to know they aren't. I'll put them back up a db, and the drums overall up a db. Thanks for the tips.
It means a lot to get production compliments from you, so I really appreciate that. I'll be moving back to the states in less than 2 months, and I'll be able to finish up my next album in much better situations. And with real monitors!
