Thanks everyone! I've been tied up at my day job for a while but hope to do another mix adjustment this weekend. As I listen on various stereos at different levels this new approach I'm trying reveals a few bandwidths that pop out so some adjustments should smooth it out. Ray: Gerry helped with an initial setup of bass/ amp/ recording channel levels this time, particularly the amp compressor and recording channel high pass crossover point relative to key. Another set of ears helps so much. The singing's rough, I know, but I try not to sing, guzzle bourbon, and smoke all at the same time (lol).
