Steve, I completely agree with you on the delay effect on down... I was trying to actually achieve that by messing with the paramaters of the echo effect in Adobe Audition, and that was the only echo I could come up with. On another note I guess I completely misunderstood what you were saying on cutting up the drums... Imma try just adding some basic baby scratches on every first beat and see how that sounds as well... might make it sound a bit more simplistic and hopefully better. Thanks for your input steve, I really appreciate that you not only take the time to listen but write such descriptive and constructive feedback.
