Thanks, 1966
I might clarify a bit, I mix at high levels meaning I will listen to a 3-4 minute song at a high level while working on the. Then listen at low to medium levels to evaluate the mix. Is that going to give me a good mix?

I guess my standard for the sound of Kick Drum is set rather high, running live sound for over 2 decades. I want a real thump from the Kick, I want a snap in the snare. So when I turn the set up these are very live sounding. (I will put another post up on how I do this with RD.) Yes MIDI drums will solve a lot of my problems but I do not have a source for MIDI drums that comes any where near the quality of the samples in PG's RDs.
