Your very right about the static nature of the mix and certainly the brightness is something to look at - - I'm trying to make sure I don't pump too much 'air' in as this will show up too bright on a rig - - reckon I need to be quite precise as to the 'where' frequency wise...

I have just played the kinda juxtaposition the claps would need in ma head, and probably some more movement with the claps too, so big up on that advice... cheers for that Rythmtech...
