that old chestnuet eh?


don't use so many rides or crashes / shakers in future
that stuff just eats cutting heads , and don't maxmise your mix too much in the computer that can cause some unpleasant harmonics which you can't even hear in the studio

for the time being ...go for a quieter cut , it'll sound fine , trust me..don't go for a loud dull cut , it will just sound shit only louder.
