Hi all,
I took all your advice on board, and when listening back over the track

with your feedback in mind, I couldn't disagree with any of it :) I

zeroed my levels in Ardour and recreated the mix from scratch, cleaning

up the EQ on the vocals and bass and bringing the vocals and drums to

the fore. Here's a direct link:

I'd love to know if you think it's an improvement, and if there's

anything further I could do to improve things.
Thanks

Leigh
