Thanks Ricke,

I really appreciate the critical feedback. I ALWAYS want to know what people are hearing.

I basically agree w/ you about the vocal level. What I did was after I'd mixed the tune, I used ozone and compared sound (a-b-c) in my 3 sets of speakers. I got something that sounded decent in all three speakers but ozone boosted the mids where my voice lies and essentially made my voice louder.

On the other hand I think of this as a country tune and I'm not sure my mix has a louder voc than many country mixes? To my ears, country has considerably louder vocal mixes than some other genres?

Nevertheless, I'll pay close attention to the vocal level if I remix.

Thanks!

Ian
