Re: Spark in the Night
You could try tubewarmth from the TAP plugins - or something similar. Many people also use some kind of tape saturation, if available. I think there is a tape plugin in the CALF or Invada set. If you'd like a little more trailing sound, a compressed reverb on a separate bus could help, with optional filtering and some creativbe work. I experimented with putting extra distortion before or after a reverb on the bus.
To shape the sounds themselves compression may help. A shorter release to emphasize the tail, but careful, this can quickly sound very 80s. There are transient manglers/shapers as well.
The easiest solution could be to try different sounds on the Fantom, they have a huge selection and I think there are a few very oldschool snares and toms.
Sorry, if this was TMI.

Re: Spark in the Night
Those are good ideas. I normally will do some compression of snare amd kick, but I didn't do that in this case. Saturation is an interesting idea. I haben't played with that on drum sounds before. I will definitely give that a try.
Thanks for the suggestions. That was definitely not TMI; that kind of advice and idea sharing is what I love about this forum. I learn so much from these discussions.

Took a while to get to this, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. We need more upbeat songs!

Re: Spark in the Night
Hi,
I'm catching up on my LM's homework and had almost missed this!
Great bounce and 60's coke commercial kind of appeal going on! Some super sounds and playing all around especially in the keyboard department, great mixing and arranging too! I wish I could share your optimism but it sure got me tappin' my toes!
