Percussion hits

right, so i have a 4 bar riff as my chorus. at the end of the 1st and 4th bar 2 different percussion sounds hit once, filling in the note gaps in the riff.



now them same 2 percussion sounds are in the intro.



in the chorus the levels of the percussion hits are just about right. cud even bump it up a touch, but 4 now its fine.



the percussion sounds are at the same level throughout the track but sound slightly louder in the intro.



so, would it be a better idea to :-


  • automate it so that its not as loud in the intro and at full volume otherwise
  • bring the volume of it down along with the volume of the main riff so it fits slightly better with intro/outro
  • or just bring the volume of it down in general



    this may really sound like a beginner question but generally, ya wanna keep all of the track at a decent level dont u, so this is why i ask :wink:

Automate it so it sounds its best in both bits.

cheers P :wink:
