Nice! I liked the first (especially the horns), but loved the brightness and energy of the second.

The vocal is more up-front in the MIDI version, but the MIDI sax is up-front and obviously MIDI.

The introduction on live version intro seems to have a bit less punch. On the MIDI version, the sax comes in right on the beat. In the live version, there seems to be a bit of slapback delay in addition to the reverb on the horns that pulls a bit of the punch.

The live version also has a doubled vocal and strings, which gives it a warmer feel.

Both versions are quite nice. Excellent work!

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