You are definitely paying attention to the details regarding the tambourines. The staccato strings are actually sustained strings with Duck making it 8th notes. I put them right back because any louder and they were a bit too prominent

I think the strings fit perfectly in the mix. The ducking is a cool choice. Keep the body of the sustained, but get the rhythmic quality of the staccato. Smart.

@BiggChev The trick to my snares is just soft clipping and eq. That's it.

listening back, I didn't catch the little mallet/bells in the transition around 1:10. Very deft touch!!

Gonna try this. I've been trying to cheat it with dual compressors (one sidechained to the kick and one sidechained to the Snare) but it just squished the fuck out of everything. I also don't care much for Logic's multi-band compressor.

I set the limit to -3 then boost the input until it snaps hard. Because it's a snare the distortion gets covered up.

@BiggChev On eqing I cut below 120-150hz, above 9khz and sometimes have to dynamic eq the hi mids and tops to tame it a little
