I listened to the track last night. I love the opening - it's got a late '70s feel to it, and I almost expected Lenny Zakatek to start on a vocal part.

Don't spend too much time analyzing the slower mix - most of the adjustments were quick and dirty. I need to start listening through headphones once I'm happy with the sound through my speakers. The drums are much too subdued, and they sound like they're in a different room.

The song is starting to sound like it's been a few times too many through a tape duplication machine. And in a real sense, it has. I could regenerate the parts in BiaB and get more presence from them. But the guitar is running just a touch too slow, and the strings are starting to go. There are a couple places where the piano glitches that I didn't catch on prior listening. That's because I neglected the all important rule: solo your tracks, and listen for junk.

Digital is so much easier to work with than tape. All this technology is really amazing.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
