Concerning my drums, because I was trying some new stuff nothing is organized in a consistent way While many of the percussion sounds are soundlocked to a single track other times they occupy two, in which case I would soundlock leads or ambient noises to sparsely populated tracks (like if had a ridiculous track with only a snare on step 9).
The bass uses a couple different methods. Sometimes I would layer a sub and highpass the weird gurgling wubs. Other times I would leave the bass content of the stranger basses untouched without a sub. I did, in fact, use a ton of trigless trigs to modulate everything (lfo speeds, filter encelope, and especially the A/B levels on pg.2). While the low end sounds ok on my headphones/monitors I’m a bit concerned it’s too muddy deep down and wouldn’t sound great on a loud system.
