Ironically, on another board I've has suggestions to do some EQ in exactly the *opposite* direction to Norval's idea :o so for the moment at least I ain't doin' nuttin! I could probably add an instrumental bridge maybe between verses 2 & 3, but I wouldn't cut a verse out. It would create a hole in the story. The only reason for my choice of key was to attempt to get in a range I could actually sing. This was the best compromise I could find. The key change for the last verse is an absolute killer for someone like me :( Once again, thanks very much for your thoughts. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
