• Snare / Clap: 75% → crisp, slightly behind vocals

• Hi-Hats / Percussion: 60% → trap rolls, light pan

• Piano Loop: 70% → hypnotic, slightly filtered in verses, fuller in hooks

• Reggae Guitar: 65% → off-beat skank, slightly left/right, brighter in hook

• Phone Buzz Sound: 50% → subtle, just enough to notice on every “phone”

• Ad-libs: 60% → low, occasional, adds texture, don’t overpower

• Reverb / Effects: 40–50% → just enough for space, keep vocals dry-forward
