"The only grip I have with BB is it should allow for the drum tracks to be split out to separate audio files.. kick.wav snare.wav etc..."
In the BiaB file structure there are audio files of each drum RD and at the end of the audio file there are examples of each sound used by the RD drummer. You can use these to double the RD track or you can volume shape the sound out of the RD track and have only the selected sound, e.g., snare on it's own track for whatever effects you choose. I often double the snare.
Back to the song. Dunno if you use mastering software but with Ozone it is very easy to, e.g., add clean bottom end to the production w/o revisiting the mix...unless the mix is bad which yours is clearly not...at all.
Pardon the ramble we REALLY enjoyed the spin!
J&B For me its more of being able to carve the different drum instruments frequencies into the mix and use proper eq. Its hard to do that on a single drum track. In my mixing I want to have the ability to hit individual drum instruments.. kick, snare hihat.. etc. and eq them properly by themselves. That is standard mix down practice. Most of time I hear what bb does with the drum, but I throw it away and use one of my plugins to simulate what I heard so that I can split the drum parts into separate tracks and do what do with them. The option to generate separate wav drum tracks (kick, snare etc) just would be an awesome update to BB at some point. I think I didn't state it clearly. You will have separate tracks if you use the kit sounds at the end of the master RD audio file. It is in a folder called drums (there is a master audio file for all of the RD's). The cool thing is that you are using the kit sound that goes with that exact RD track that you generated in BiaB. You can align the kit sound with it's respective sound on the generated RD track on a separate track. It's not as tedious as it sounds as you can clone and paste after you get a few in...so doubling is easy. If you want to remove, for example, the kick from the RD track rather than just doubling you will have to volume shape it out and that is tedious but for some tunes it's worth it. Recently we produced a reggae song for which I used one of the reggae RD's but removed everything but the snare and ride by volume shaping them out. After this Janice played percussion (cajon) with what remained. I then went and doubled the snare. So I had the original stereo drum track, a stereo two mic track of her cajon and a third track with just the RD snare. Often I find that just doubling or replacing the kick and snare on separate tracks will give you a huge amount of control over the drums. All FWIW! OK, to keep this post on topic  we just listened again to your tune. It ROCKS! Bud
