I finally got round to listening to this. Very nice. I agree that the Bass is the weakness in this track, but my reasoning is different. Personally I would like to hear a much more driving bass and I think it needs a few 'rushes' to build it, possibly in the drum parts, but there are other ways of doing this. If you feel the piece is finished, I would leave it there and simply bear in mind these comments for future pieces. I'm not a great fan of over-production. -- cheers, tim hall http://glastonburymusic.org.uk/tim We are the people We've been waiting for.
