When I play back at those levels the audible volume is much lower than it previously was, as in the other day. Even though this is slightly less gain the volume should be the same, but it's noticeably quieter.
It went from this https://m.soundcloud.com/farce_bandit/again
To this https://m.soundcloud.com/farce_bandit/eh-1
I'll record, monitor and it's lower. Then save the track and listen on my mac and it's lower. Listen to this demo and you'll hear the difference, and I even increased the volume on this one and it's lower.

It's definitely not as fat, heavy and loud.
