Sounds real nice man, if you're open for feedback then the snare could only sound better with a lil more volume / high end.

But yeah, vibes

Sounds like a nice reverbed white noise snare would sound very nice in here and help fill some of that space without cluttering it up too much

It' been said before, take some of that compression off & whack the bass up!

Interesting style, can I ask what music background you came from?

Bump!

Is there a point to this thread? I wouldn't want to live without any of them, they each have a purpose. You've included similar effects, such as a compressor, limiter and transient shaper which are all variations of the same thing. Yet missed out effects such as chorus, ringmod, phaser, stereo enha...

Just curious to see if anyone picks anything other than the main EQ/Compression.

Cheers man, glad they're of use to you!

I use Kontakt, huge selection of sounds in there. If you're budget is a little lower than the full komplete package then try the komplete elements. Still get plenty in there but for a fraction of the price
