Thanks Janice & Bud,
I've a template of sorts now for BIAB drums - not nearly as time consuming as they used to be to sit properly.
I've lifted the vocal a little more in level and with some "shine" EQ but it was a balancing act between negating the work I'd put in on sibilant sounds, (even though I know no one else seems to hear them or, if they do, aren't bothered by them I can't help myself), and giving the voice more level + presence.
Thanks for the comment re the lyrics...that's where I started and where I remain most comfortable - ever the frustrated poet.


Cheers
