Unfortunately, this is as mixed as it's going to get. HDD fried and I this is the most finished version I have. The final mix would have taken care of most of the issues mentioned so far. I was working on the noise problem during the quiet parts, and pretty much had that taken care of. As far as the hard pans go, I wouldn't change it, other than to pan the lead a little more up the middle. I know the vocals are out of sync on the first word, and also had that taken care of before the HDD failure, but there isn't much I can do about it now. Over all, the obvious out of sync first word, and noise issue aside, I'm pretty pleased with it. I can probably take care of the brightness by mastering it, other than that....it is all it's gonna be. Although not perfect, I'm far from embarrassed by it. Thanks for all your input, guys. Keep it coming.
