Thanks for the comments, Frankie.

I couldn't resist, so I had one more go at tweaking the song: O Come, O Come Emmanuel (Mix 3)

To be honest, there's nothing terribly different this time around - I took the piano out of most of the first verse, make the flute lead a bit more prominent, added a (hopefully subtle) choir to the second verse, fiddled with the FX on various instruments... Just little things which may (or may not) be improvements.

I'm not really happy with the transition into the second verse. It's easy to make things louder, but to subtly make things quieter means you've got to slowly drop things away so that no one notices, and I don't think I did a good job of it here.

Now I understand why albums are never really "done", they just run out of money.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
