Since your goal was "getting this done quickly"...
Do you actually know how long you spent completing all steps you described in your post...
I think it was about 3 or 4 hours. I saw Noel's post, and decided that I wasn't going to respond to it until I had posted another instrumental. I set midnight as my deadline, and decided that it would be OK if the mix was "good enough", especially since I wanted some feedback on this.
Thanks for listening!
