Thanks for the advice Matt and Mac. I have worked with soloists much the way you described. They definitely have their own ideas on mixing. I realize that I have gotten into some bad habits in my mixes and this little piece is giving a chance to get back to basics and more technique. The advice you have given to me has helped me to realize what and how others listen and percieve a new piece. I thank you for that.

I have remixed yet one more time. I tried the suggestions you have given and I hope the mix is a little more dynamically (is that the right spelling? hmmm) balanced.

Thanks again,

RichR
