"The pumping effect has been eliminated, agreed that the cymbals may have just a bit too much high end. Not sure if you turned the AR doubler down a bit in this latest version (reading other posts) but I think it sounds good."
It was the removal of the gate on the kick and tailing back the compression ratio from roughly 4:1 to 2.5:1 -- pumping gone. I'm going to check the sizzle on the overheads this morning. I don't think I've got it hyped ... but I'm too old to remember every setting I make in a mix. Thanks Mike!
