Hmmm... thanks. As I said, it was just a quick listen :-) I was struck by certain instrumental sounds which were slightly louder, but that could have been achieved by frequency-dependant compression. Likewise the balance of vocals to backing track as the track builds. Mind you, there's not that much difference going back to the 4-track vs. the stereo master :-) -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
