Sounds really nice. I'd like more reverb on the snare drum. Really nice when the sax comes in. I'd also like some kind of short room reverb or something like that on the kick...just enough to hear the room With no effect at all, it sounds really different than the rest of the instruments, which have generous reverb. Nice tune!

Don, that is really, really helpful. I used dry Session Drummer 2 on the intro drums and then audio loops for the rest, and the sound timbre is very different, as you say. It never occurred to me to put some of the SD2 drums through reverb as well, but now that you point it out, i'm like "Doh!" Definitely will go back and do that.

You may consider just putting a touch of ambience on the loops...not sure if the dry kick into the song is a loop by itself, but that's what stood out for me most to me.

Thanks Don -- I've done what you suggested. Think it helped -- much more consistent now. I'll definitely be able to use that in the future. Thanks again.
