@hannes_wan appreciate the straight answer on the kick/bass overlap case, that's exactly the scenario I'd worry about with any busy mix. separating drums first before detection is the right order of operations though. good luck with the low-frequency separation work, that seems like the genuinely hard remaining 20%.
