Rich, I don't know when you made the change, but I thought there was too much sax in what I heard. Note that I listened long before commenting though; I was replying to your comment about it being difficult making mixes. Mixing is an art that takes skill and experience, but you can get close more quickly with the technique I described.

You're not wrong about soloists, though; I have this argument with some vocalists I work with, who would almost be content if all you could hear was the singer.

"It's nice, but it needs more me."

"That's better, but it still needs more me."

Etc.

So mixing also requires the skill of diplomacy. You're lucky, your sax soloist can't complain!
