Very cool, glad to see you've progressed to using your own samples! How much live snare/toms made it into the mix?
the sample is the live snare
if i mixed the sample over the live, that would be weird
so its 100% sample

Why do you think it would be weird? Andy stated in the past that he frequently used to arrive at a solution where he blended 50% of the sampled live snare back onto itself. Not saying that you have to like Andy's snare sounds, but I don't recall there ever being anything weird about them.
On the snare I'm finding it needs a little mid tweak. I like to subtract -6 ish at 1000 hz ish at a narrow q of something like 3
Depends on your mix tho.
As always, reverb helps. I'm using mine in combination with a slate room sample and it sounds great!

I love the reverse snares and reverbs flying around constantly on this record. Joey, in the meantime you have certainly created a huge archive with these swish and wosh FX by yourself. Or are you creating them from scratch everytime you need them? Then you need to have a damn optimized workflow for that. If I'm doing something like this it needs about 5-10 minutes until it sits nice in the mix...
Btw, could be a nice FX pack for sale, couldn't it? ;D
i have a buntch of presets i created that are setup with quick controls to tweak the settings that mean anything to me
they're in the form of track presets, so i can just add "big snare" to the song. and then make it bigger or smaller with a knob
This sounds good, but I just don't dig the production or the music on this one. Good job non the less.

it would be weird because the live snare and the sample snare are the same thing
so if i had a sample playing over the live, the phase would shift in and out and the two samples would cancel each other out in micro amounts
it would be different if the sampled snare was a completely different snare
I'm with Lasse. The phase would only really become an issue if the two hits being overlaid were 100% identical digital copies. Otherwise the same rules of phase tend to apply as blending other drums.
Not saying it *has* to be done this way, but it certainly does lead to more natural sounding snares.
