Thanks Dan for the compliment and the tip. I really do appreciate that because there is just so much to learn about production. This mastering and mixing stuff is hard. I believe in the old analog days, a person wanted to peak around 0db but with I'm not sure where I should be with digital. Also, there are so many audio plugins. Sometimes I put compression on a bass and also put a multiband compressor on the master. It is easy to over do it! I know I need to take more time and listen to mixes on different systems and in another room than my unfinished basement. I will probably revisit songs and put new parts and remix. Like Frank Zappa said "a song is never finished, just abandoned". I hope I can end up with something good before I "abandon" the song.

Thank you again for the help!
