Thanks for the suggestions so far. I'll give everything a trial.
I'm interested that the file sounds compressed. There's a MIX BUS preset limiter on the stereo out but it's very light. No comp on Deej's vocal - perhaps it's the "normalizing" to achieve -14Lufs. I've been using that so I can compare mixes without having to "gain match". It may be that -14 isn't what Soundcloud likes.
The soundcloud file sound a bit mono in my net listening comp. I'll have to check that elsewhere.
"...a better ending..." is interesting. That's a subjective thing I'm willing to try if quantified so that I can have a crack.
This song did have held chords and slow fade organ on the last two bars but I elected to chop it all off with a touch of delay...as an experiment.
Longer intro...I'd like to but that'd depend on the soloist ...I'll have a squiz.
Drifting vocal fade...yeah, yeah, yeah I can hear what you mean.
I'll consult with Deej.
THANKS.

Cheers
