Many, many thanks to all for taking the time to listen and suggest.

When I get the chance I will continue working on this.
As for the much derided lead vox fx, I place the blame squarely with PG Music, as I simply used the PTPA 11 'male vocal' preset!!
Oh yes- now I come to think of it, I did give the lead vox tracks some mid-range/hi boost (another pre-set) to make my voice less dead-sounding!!

Another suggestion I will try to act on is to add some ac. gtr trax to make the piece sound slightly more authentically 'audio'.

With a family, a FT job, an active band, and other leisure pursuits, I do not have as much time as some of you to tinker around with tracks once I have recorded them.
To get anything done at all, I need to devote more of my time to composing and less to tweaking. I figure if the song is strong enough, then you will get the idea even if some of the production choices are less than optimal.

That said, I will try to act on the above.

Of course if there are any volunteers out there with time on their hands who want to help out with the final mix then your PM will be very welcome!!
