dani - thanks! The birthday song was a delight! Is that you playing the guitar?

Steve - thanks for dropping by for a listen. hope you are doing well (and preparing your next song!)...

Bud - careful... those de-drawlers can add artifacts!..

Lawrence - thanks. On some songs, I will add a snare track and a kick track over the RT drum track so I have control over them. But I did not do that on this one - it was just the RT with a default FX chain in Studio One for a drum group - adds an EQ with a bump at 50 Hz (for the kick) and another about 3k Hz that catches the snare. Then there is a multiband dynamics that tweaks the low, low-mid and mid that is, no doubt, helping to accentuate those as well (I have not touched those to see exactly what they do - I have only recently begun using Studio One and in this case when I tried that preset to see what it did, it seemed to work without any further knob turning).
