That sounds quite a lot. I'm always reducing the complexity and giving more room for a very well generated generator sound. Friend of mine / friends of mine who are in the business for 20 years and I'd say are excellent producers told me years ago to reduce, which I started to understand during the last couple of years. A few hq generated sounds make up a great track. Kicking out things sometimes is the best way to get to a better result. On the other hand I like to stuff tracks. But it's much harder to get all the sounds working next to each other.
Am almost through with my recent track. Some tweeking. Just kicked two layered Kicks out and used BASSizm instead. It's much punchier and sticks out better in the track. The basses are pretty great so far. Just 2 problems to solve in the spectrum related to 2 instruments.
