   Very good advice but I would use a real, natural sounding drum kit for purpose of tutorial. In this shitty electro music everything sound the same although I got your point and I agree.

   Or you can manipulate the EQ in order to crystallise some sound frequencies over others.

   I think they use reverb and ambiance for that effect. The greater the reverb, the more distant sound becomes.

    Hey, thanks a lot for the tutoria… – great Tips..! – i have a question that hopefully you can help me out with.. – I’ve heard some good productions where you can literally feel certain sounds begin way on the back, and some right on your face… such as: upright bass and acoustic guitar on the ‘back’ and the voice, very clear and crispy in front… how do they do that sort of ”forwarda – back” panning..? (no left and right panning there) – is it just a manipulation of volumes..??

    I’ve watched several of your videos today and I’ve got to say that your pace/delivery/explanations are paced just perfectly. Don’t change a thing. :-)
