The kick sounds perfect, though the snare feels a little more "bottom snare" than I'd expect. not a bad thing, just not what I expected for this mix. Did you use the samples that were included or did you augment with some of your own?Hi, I appreciate the kind words; I'm glad you enjoyed the mix. I get what you're saying about the snare it does have a certain snare wire "sizzle" sound to it.
Overall, I love the vibe of this. I like your quiet section SO much more than my own. It's really clean. I love the dynamics of your track, and I love how well constructed it was. Thank you for sharing it!
In regards to samples, I only replaced the "kickSample2" track, I felt like it wasn't adding what I wanted to the kick drum. I switched it for a sample with a little more length, and I used reaper's ReaSamplOmatic's transient shaper and pitch transpose to adjust the sample's pitch and decay. It's mixed in pretty low, but it does thicken the overall kick a little. Thanks again.
