It has a the Boz Scaggs vibe to us.

The mix is great and a real surprise, before listening, was the SC waveform.
It appears to be slammed to the ceiling. Yet it has good dynamics.
One of the many mixing mysteries. smile Perhaps the Waves thing.

Excellent all around and we enjoyed it!

THANKS, J&B! Boz Scaggs is very cool, I MIGHT be blushing a little bit. Or a lot. Yeah, a lot. Fun trivia: Steve Miller taught Boz to play guitar when they were...12.

That waveform had me scratching my head as well. There is a LOT of compression on the going on the most audible individual tracks, but nothing extraordinary on the overall mix. Am guessing those dominant tracks are governing the mix waveform despite the audible dynamic shifts between sections.

I THINK I figured out that the one-knob Waves .VST was automatically de-essing on top of another de-esser, and that the frequency gap (ie, a lack of brightness) was what I didn't like. I reduced the earlier de-esser in the chain since I couldn't address in Waves. VST (one knob, right?) . At any rate, I don't mind the mix at all now. But maybe my ears have just gotten used to it. smile

THANKS again for the listen and thoughts!
