NICE!

What if I said I was planning on replacing the inside kick with a sample in the end. Freeing up that API ch. With that API ch free would you change things?

Oh.. and what would you do with the over heads? how would you place those?

Why not just get a really great kick sound? Why trigger if you don't have to?
I'd also stick the 4050 in the room on omni mode
