Too Bright

[APZX]

See, now I thought about doing something similar. In fact at one point I had this complicated chain that alternated a LPF and HPF versions of the signal (keeping the low end in strictly in the middle though) that were hard panned and was controlled by the kick in that when the kick hit it switched them. I chose not to stick with it as it was too confusing and instead just panned the hats. So, about 45 min of work thrown out in favor of a simple LFO lol. I still stand by the fact that I think people were way over complicating the chorus verse dynamic. I subscribe to the K.I.S.S principle or Keep It Simple Stupid. Has worked quite well for me.

Want to know something else? How about the plug-ins used? In order of their use; Nomad Factory NEQ-1972, The Glue, Nomad Factory PulseTec EQ, The Glue (sidechain), and ReaEQ (HPF effect automated in & out due to the resonant peak I used). Not complicated at all.
