Enjoyed it.

The plugin effects on Digital Performer are super for this. I started with ProVerb which is a convolution reverb which opened up the sound - even set at zero. It also turns a mono to a stereo track if you want so you can pan the sound more. Compression really helped separate the bass and drums. The most exciting new plug-in is the Spacial Maximizer here's what DP says-

Spatial Maximizer takes a stereo signal and gives you independent control over center (mid) content versus the panned (side) content. Applications go way beyond prepping final mixes for vinyl mastering with side band high-pass filtering and mid band bass enhancement. Each band can be independently processed with a full-featured, five-band dynamic equalizer, allowing you to mould and shape any stereo track or mix. Enjoy dramatic levels of control over the stereo spectrum and spatial impression of a complete stereo mix, or individual tracks within a stereo mix.

I just fiddle with the settings for 20 minutes - then realize I've gone too far and cut back 40 or 50% and voila!- song's ready. Actually it's a wonderful tool that I'm understanding more and better how to use. That's one of the benefits of my cassette restoration binge. I learn more by doing projects than trying to read a 992 page manual. Thanks J&B (why do I want a drink now)

PS - sorry for the corny joke. I'm compulsive.
