James, I'll use your ideas as the starting point on my next mix.  They should all be easy to attain.  Thanks so much!

Geno, thanks for your time.  I haven't done anything yet, due to time constrictions, but I'll hit it tomorrow.

James, you're right, it is right heavy, and I'll fix that.  It will go on a diet.

Rimshot, thanks for the positive comment on the bass.  It's the only song I play synth bass on this collection of songs.  The drums will be addressed.

Gary, thanks for your time and comments.  I'll fix that imbalance.

James, if I was selling them, you'd get your complimentary copy.  Thanks.

Shad, you and I must think alike at times!

Robert, so sorry about the show.  I did my turn last week.  Thanks for your kind words.  I use the console emulator almost exactly like you do.

Mark, thank you about the vocal.  The woman that I wrote this for not only made the scrimshaw, but inspired my vocal.  Thanks for your time.

It seems like you guys are getting some pretty amazing recordings with this X2 stuff... I guess I'll have to pull the trigger this year. I'm just a little concerned about all of my 32 bit plugs?

Robby, you better get on X2, it's a great mixing platform.  In fact, I remixed this song after changing the drums and hi hat, as per Jamesyoyo.  I boosted the lead vox a bit, too.  Thanks for listening.

Good song.  Echo what James said.  I think its very close and probably only needs a couple of tweaks on a copule of knobs.... but which ones.. now that's always the trick isn't it?   But I think James points make sense.   Good job on the vocals, but a little too far back at points.  I like the orchestration and the arrangement.  Some cool guitar riffs too.

You do really interesting and original arrangements Lynn and this one is no exception.

Cool vocals that are perfect for this.

Very enjoyable listen.

Hey Lynn- I definitely remember your original post on this, as Scrimshaw is not a tune that is easily forgotten.  I think it was the first piece of yours that I heard and it mad quite an impression.  

The new production has much going on, and you seem to be doing a great job of handling all those moving pieces for the most part.  James has far better ears and equipment than me so I'll defer to him on most of the mix crits except to say that I'd prefer (like James) to hear the vocal better.  It's a great vocal, get it out there.

Excellent job other than the little nits.

I think it sounds fricken awesome! Thanks be to God for people like Mr. Yoyo and others who can hear "the subtitles.."

Chas, thanks for listening and your reply.  Always appreciated.

Daryl, thank you for your comments.  I will boost the lead vocal when I remix it today.

 John, thanks so much for you kind words.

Philz, I agree with you that the lead vocal could use more volume which will take place in a little while.

Robby, you won't be disappointed if you go the X2 route.

Grant, you really know how to make a guy happy!
