Listening now, going back and forth between the two I can hear a difference but it's subtle, mostly in the mids. I really can't hear much difference in the bass region. Maybe the high end has a bit more air. The overall level is the same between the two and I don't notice any prominent volume issues with either version. Coudl be that you did such a good job on the no Hairball version that the program didn't have to do much.

As far as the song goes: I like the guitar tone very much. Your instruments aren't all ganged together in the middle and they seem to have their own space in the mix. You played it smart with your vocals and stayed in a comfortable range rather than try and be someone your not, that's a complement BTW, I like the vocals even though the weakest link for me was the vox but not because they were bad, they just felt a little relaxed for this style music, just more energy.

All of this is with my typical "I'm no better than you so take what I write with a grain of salt" disclaimer.

Strummy,

You forgot to mention to CJ that the pliers you are referring to are Halford pliers. Plus I thought your mate Sid was going to reduex the vocals.....

I believe your were refering to these.?.

Well It seems that Photobucket is down. So no pictures. No laughter. only sadness. Woe is me. Woe is me. In any case you should have the taxman come by and visit Sid then have him sing. I think then you will get the appropriate flavor.

CJ I got a nice MCA SP-1 for recording instruments vocals. I intend to mod it to get a little more low end.
