Thank you, Jonas. I happen to be working on it right now, and I will do exactly as you suggest. I have already addressed the drums and bass, but I haven't touched the vocals,yet. Thank you for your golden ears (and, after listening to your latest submission, your ears are platinum), and for your time.
5 minutes later: I did as you suggested, and surprise, surprise. It's right on target, and the vocal sounds to me to be more natural. Good call.
