Thanks for the specifics, Jazzmammel Bob. I am going to try to redraft this song with the solo that Josie suggested,(and other changes from other feedback) and I will try to mix in the vocal lower, good ear, that is surely part of the problem, it's actually peaking a bit there, which is probably why I had to pull back most of the instuments, it sounded bombastic otherwise.


Being a rank newbie "mixer" I'm not quite sure how I'd do what you suggest in terms of the dynamics... i.e. squeeze the whole thing down overall, to allow for a bigger peak at the climax, correct? Makes total sense, but... right now, I have 19 tracks in Melodyne... It doesn't record mixer moves the way RB or other DAW's do, I don't THINK... If not, I guess I'd have to select most of each track and bring down the amplitude. I could try that. I guess that way, people kind of... have their speakers up a big louder from the beginning, and then kind of... get blasted a bit more on that one segment? I guess it's tricky, cuz if it gets louder significantly there, it really better sound good, right?

Thanks, Vincent
