Thanks Gonzo I will think about that.  

I hear what you are saying I have not made any sort of mastering pass this is basically the mix straight off the master buss of my 26 i/o, then into Soundforge for conversion to MP3.  

The wave file does actually sound different from the MP3.  Appreciate you coming back a second time.  Perhaps when time permits we can talk thanks again for your candour.
Thanks to all who have listen to this little project.
