well no you picked me up wrong, what i mean by saying i " focus on whats there rather than whats not there" is that, if there is a general theme or groove which i like i will focus on that rather than focussing on having pans and reverbs etc, like i acheived the exact feel i wanted to acheive with this track and yes mabey having filters pans and compression will make it sound more professional, not having them, for me, doesnt detract from the original goal...?
