Thanks for your input Robbie, yes the vocal is not as good as it could be but all I can say it was recorded out of my control in a less than desirable environment. Things are panned and there is little compression applied other than that applied to the SD 2 instrument, I wonder what Mr Slate would have to say about your interpretation of his SD 2 pre-set.
I doubt that I will revisit this as it is primarily my friends song he released it into the wild, he is happy with it.
