Hey MITC, thanks for listening.
The bass signal is clean. i think its probably the kick, which has a bit of an 808 vibe ....not sure why i went in that direction but i could back off compression/eq for sure...
the flapping on the kick is actually sympathetic snare rattle bleeding through from the snare close mic as the kick beater hits...an expander/gate will probably fix that....never heard that before
no new mastering plug-in....pretty clean chain
Be fierce in your encouragement, kind in your criticism and try and remember that the art of a good critique is not to make someone else's mix sound like yours...but to help the mixer realize their own vision.
