Thanks for your quick response. Apologies for uploading the wrong file initially with the mute hits not being disabled.
If you listen to the updated .mp3 towards the end of the file, you’ll hear the choking out of the cymbals, even though the note being played (D2) is exactly the same note being played earlier in the clip where the cymbals don’t choke out. Probably the most obvious example of this is the last note being played.
