What DAW are you using?
Do you put anything on the stereo bus? like a limiter everything runs through?
It just sounds a bit thin, maybe putting a limiter to kinda glue it together and raise the volume would help![]()
I usually mix into the Aphex Vintage Exciter, the PuigChild670, and the L2 limiter on my stereo bus in that order.
Also mix with the volume only half way up on your audio interface, if it's cranked while you're making the beat or mixing the beat, it'll feel like it's louder than it really is.
How'd you EQ the sample? Do you compress the drums at all?
I always wondered how your drums sounded so pure

this limiters and shyt got a nikka like
at how crisp it makes things sound. really brings beats together 
I really appreciate the help Kush. I gotta say trying to match you the past few months has really upped my skil in a quick time.

updated with the limiters and shiz. gonna have to go throw these on all my finished tracks lol




Perhaps you might be right. Out of the 3, I didn't have a clear direction on that one. There are parts of the chop that sounds too happy for me but also can be a "back in the days" storytelling track.
Please let me get those kick and snare breh.
