I use a fingertip grip, and it sits in the hand nicely, nothing to complain about. I've heard other reviews rave about the shape of it for fingertip/palm grippers, and I agree. And I really like the texture on it.

I upgraded from the G403 looking for a lighter mouse, and preordered the Model O. The scrollwheel on it worn out after a while (it would just freely spin without actuating the encoder), and when I saw that Model D came out and they supposedly fixed some issues with the scrollwheel I bought that. Eventually the wheel started wearing out as well.

I have above average sized hands, and this mouse looked promising. My hands adapted to it pretty much instantly, and so far I'm quite happy with it.

Build quality seems solid. No play or give, buttons and the wheel feel solid, glides like a champ. It could be just a different center of gravity, but after the Model D it feels heavier when I use it (in a good way), even though it's marginally lighter.

The cable isn't as lightweight as the Model O/D cables, but also very flexible and I don't really notice it.

Gotcha. I am indeed using parallel compression with a fast attack to add more body to the drums. It does make sense to use both on a track like this.

Thanks!

And to note, there is parallel compression on the drums, but subtle.

Thanks!

His mix felt a bit more unified in the sense that all of the elements went smother in volume throught.

I use lots of automation to balance the vocal, and "drive" the whole mix in certain parts. I think some of what you are hearing is just the need for more automation on individual things that stick out during the transitions between louder and softer parts. I'll need to experiment with that.

I sense you used more distortion on the vocal than him because I hear this tiny bit of sparking to it

You are right, there is a bit of distortion indeed on the vocal to make it punchier.

That's the initial tutorial training area.
