pglewis, hey bro. I actually remixed A Darker Shade of Blue tonight... I tried something different with that vox/guit part. I definitely think I panned too hard on that like you said, so I fixed that in a different way than just reducing the panning... I also redid the guitar on that part, because I noticed that the guitar sounded like it was thwacking due to overload, but it actually wasn't... it was the preset I set up on my pod... it would distort in a funky way... It was driving me crazy... I redid it and I really like it better... I really hate when I listen to one of my songs and there is a part that makes me cringe everytime I listen to it...
The change I did to Morning Light was I cut the low freq on the guits a little bit to make room for the bass, umm... what else... I upped the drum level a tiny bit... and I normalized the song's level to match the level of the other songs on the CD. Before, when the song would come on, I had to run over to the stereo and turn it down...
