Mackie: Thanks for the ears. I'll try and investigate the lack of "highs" (Nite mentioned that, too).

Tom: Thanks for stopping by and giving it a spin!

Dan: I always liked that Don Williams fella. Thanks for the listen and comments.

Nite: Hello. I don't think I am "scared", it is just that I can probably hear "me" just fine since I know what is coming. Being a solo home recording guy, it is hard to wear all the hats successfully (writing, recording, mixing, mastering,...). Lot to be said for getting outside opinions on everything -- so here I am (ha, ha).

After all 12 songs for the CD are "finished", I will go back and tweak the pitches as needed (using Sonar's V-Vocal plugin). I am not against having things more perfect in a "commercial" CD.

I am just learning about compression on the master fader -- so I will probably have to go through that learning curve, too! More mixing to do, also.

Thanks to all and I will come back to finish the follow-up replies.

Kevin
