Strangely Dull?

Hey,

Have you all ever had a certain mix just sound strangely dull for no appraent reason? The last song I've been working with ("Bring Me Close To You") over on the Songs forum, sounded really, really dull and I was kicking up the highs ALOT to compensate. I got it better but it's still off a little. Anyway, I opened a few other projects to have a listen, and they had the proper hi end content, both on the analyzer and in my ears and they had very little high end boost. Nothing in my room has changed and I'm using all the same stuff. I'm not sure what happened on the last tune, but I'm just going to reset everything on it and mix it from scratch...it just seemed weird when I compared it to other projects.

This is the same rig I've used for other songs that didn't turn out this dark and dull, and my room/monitors are all the same. Everything patches into an RME Multiface II. I'm not sure what happened to cause this.

These are all the tracks:

1. Lead vocal (Onyx preamp)
2. Acoustic lead (Onyx preamp)
3. Piano (K2661)
4. Pad (K2661)
5. Drums (Stylus RMX)
6. Bass (Dimension Pro)

When I get home this evening I'm going to reset the mix and watch is really carefully.

In my case when it happens, it's usually my high frequency hearing failing on me.
