Hi, yes I know what you mean about the piano, I also found the snare to be a little bit too hard in the verses, especially verse 1, I did try to tame it down a little, tried a multiband comp, then a dynamic eq, but in the end, I just notched out a little with eq and automated it, the drums feel a little robotic and brittle, sometimes a vocalist will add lyrics which means that i will then remix them into the music and that changes everything. Thanks again for listening, you all rock!
