Hi Percy, this is always a huge problem when you're trying to mix files at home for playing at a live venue. The equipment and acoustics are completely different. There's two things to try here but they both involve remixing your songs. First, try to duplicate the equipment and acoustics as much as possible at home. Use your PA for mixing not your home studio monitor speakers. That louder snare you're hearing could simply be the PA horns boosting that freq range. Try putting the set up in a bigger room or even your garage where there's cement floors and a bunch of clutter similar to a lot of venues I've worked over the years and then stand back from the speakers during mixing, don't sit right in front of them.

Second, if thats not possible then mix the tracks in stereo with the drums hard panned on one side and everything else hard panned on the other. Then on your gig use a mixer that has panning controls and output one channel hard panned to the left to one channel of your PA and the other channel hard panned to the right to a different channel. If you have a stereo PA then you don't need a separate mixer. Then you can control the volume and EQ of the drums separately and the bass and other instruments are on the other channel. Typically the bass can be a problem in some rooms as well so you can EQ that separately plus adjust the volume.
