Mix Challenge

@MartialFromentin This mix is for the most part excellent, the only fault worth mentioning is that the Snare in the Choruses sounds a bit too jarringly different from the Snare in the Verses - almost like a tiny explosion, which on small radio speakers distracted me out of the song as soon as the f...

the problems you are talking about can be solved with a crossfeed plugin.
