Dan,

I added in the vox. I put a high pass filter on the front end of the signal chain for the vox at about 250 Hz to take out some 'boxy' character that is probably due to your recording room.

There is a whine in the vox - and I don't mean you are complaining. In between phrases, you can hear it - it's roughly 2 kHz and multiples thereof. Very easy to see in isolation using an FFT plugin like the free Voxengo SPAN FFT analyzer. So, I automated the volume down in between phrases. You might want to look into what is causing that whine. It could very well be inside of your interface. I had a similar issue with a PreSonus FireBox.

Here's the link to the version with the vocals

Here's a look at the screenshot (double-click to enlarge it)

The white lines on the tracks are the volume automations.

the 'Mixer' is on the right and shows all of the signal processing used - mostly compressions and aux sends. The volume and pans are the units with the gray bars in them, level of gray is the volume, black dot is pan from left to right. Note the sax and piano panned left somewhat, guitar panned right somewhat, everything else center. The sends are the pink lines - all sending to the classic reverb set to a small club setting and increasing the room size just a hair. As any aux effect should be, the setting is 100% wet on the reverb.

I did also notch out what I felt was a harshness in the vocals at around 10kHz, with a parametric EQ - 2nd block in the signal chain for the vocal track.

I'll see about printing the individual effected tracks - I think there's a way to do that automated in Tracktion, but I typically don't use that function.
