Alan, rayc, Stefan, and Herb: Thanks for the listen and kind words. I'm glad it seems to be working for the most part, though the more I keep listening to, particularly after getting a day's separation, I think Alan has the right of it.

Alan: I think your exactly right (and perhaps it also explains ray's reaction). I generally struggle with getting the high EQ out of my voice regardless of the song, and when I say I wonder if my voice fits a song like this it's largely because I battle even more for some reason on these types of songs to get there. I kept going back and forth trying to find the right balance, often ending up with something that sounded more muted or muffled (losing crispness) than something softened.

Anyway, tooling on Youtube, I came across a tutorial on the "Single EQ" plug in in Logic Pro X and played with that a bit. I need to throw the headphones on and then run it on the studio speakers, but that may be helping some. So stay tuned . . . I may get James another version to upload that hopefully addresses your suggestion. Thanks for that!!! smile
