Hi Laurent,

Lots of great advice and kind words from you, thank you. I think the lack of drums maybe to do with YouTube and Soundcloud. Certainly I did reduce the drums and bass on my DAW as I didn’t want them to dominate what is meant to be a gentler song. They still sound at the right level and present through my monitors in the DAW, I think maybe YT and SC have taken their 20% cut!! It’s something for me to remember on future submissions and to audition and allow for this discrepancy on the various sites. And you’re absolutely right about getting contrast into the musical mix. Glad you liked the video, it’s the element of the whole production process I hate doing the most…it’s too time consuming.

Thank you again Laurent, much appreciated. Kind regards.
