SteveC- Thanks for those words. Actually, that was a great compliment, because my style of writing is usually very dense, and I make it a goal to have space for each and every sound...and there are usually many going at one time. What I lack in quality, I make up for in quantity! LOL
The effect on vocals was just a ProChannel preset- "Dumb Step".....my voice is old and crackly, so I have to disguise it. haha!
