John,

Thank you. I'm so glad you liked it. Learning mixing is an ongoing process for me. What I do is watch, read and try most every tip I can to see how it works for my project. Never used Nectar. I have Ozone on this song. Sometimes I use Final Mix and a T-Racks compressor I like. The vocals here are double tracked. One track has a compressor, delay, and reverb. The other is dry. Both have a hpf and one has a little more eq.

Check out tips and tricks forum and read Steve Young and Floyd Jane's threads. There have also been some interesting discussions in OT and RB forums on mixing/mastering. Good videos out there from the recording revolution. And I always enjoy listening to Rob Chiarelli and Michael Laskow talk mixing on Taxi Music tv (on ustream) - you can find the shows in the archives.

A quick way to get direct specific help is to post your song and ask for mixing help. You'll get lots of advice. Then see what works for you. The guys here have helped me a lot over the years.

Thanks again.
