Hey that's a good idea to convert the tracks to mp3 & then import into RB, etc. I'd be up for trying that.
As far as the vocal level... I think people sometimes tend to put them TOO Much out front, so I guess that's something that didn't really occur to me. I thought the level was fine.
As for a female singer, I have a niece in Denver who's a very fine vocalist.
If your interested I'll give you some contact info later. (Although she is a bit of an airhead)
Later,
Greg
