Scott, The opening lines are so important, Hook em early. I had to go through several drummers also. Both in band days and BIAB. Thanks for the comments.

Guenter, Thanks for stopping by and the kind words.

Elliot, I will have to condense this. Mastering with Ozone5. Most real tracks run through Alloy2. Vocals use Nectar2. Guitar through S-Gear. Ozone5 is a powerful program with 7 modules within it. It adds the sheen,clarity, separation of instruments, stereo field, and loudness to the final mix. That is just a little of what it does. I even mix now with it on. Hope this helps. Youtube has lots of tutorials on these plug-ins. If you have questions PM me. Thanks for listening.
