Very cosy music! I'd like to advise you to follow Q's advice, but make an exception on the snare+bassdrum and the bassguitar. I think the vocal level is good, but perhaps i would think different if i understood what he says (beautyfull language btw) Thanks for the music! Feel free to ad my email to any release anouncment list. *Set On 2013-05-01 23:36, Q wrote: > Probably a bit of everything -- might be as easy to do it on the master > bus. > > Q > > On 01/05/13 22:32, James Stone wrote: >> Thanks for listening, and thanks for the comments..
