could something have gotten out of phase - and maybe doing some comb filtering? something is
definitely being "lost" ;-)

Hey Rick,

This is much, much better. I can appreciate the song a lot more now. Very
cool.
A few things still could make this much better - 2 main ones:
1. Steve eluded to this. The band doesn't sound tight to me. Pretty loose
and I think it may all start with the drums. I would solo the drums with a
click and make sure it is consistent throughout. Then add bass and do the
same thing - adding each instrument one at a time to make sure it's all
really tight.

2. The lead vocal doesn't cut through enough. I don't think this is a volume
issue as much as a frequency one. Good trick here is to separate lead voc
from the rest of the track and use freq analyser to see what the main voc
frequencies are and dip those frequencies on the rest of the track.

My 2 cents.
