The latter allows to emphasize the swing rhythm more than a shaker would. As for the guitar: I'm not sure. I did 15 takes of it today and a rough mix after that. I need fresh ears to decide; at the moment I do favor the D&B version without guitar + Cabasa to come. What still nags me is how to best mix this fake upright bass. thanks for all the feedback, robin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
