The clarity on the new tracks makes them vocals look like childs play.
and i recorded that on a AT4040. Who said you cant get a good sound outa that
Not me lol... cause I have done so many times, through a great colorful sounding pre of course. AT mics in my opinion need good flavour sidekicks in what pres and/or compressors you record with. They are just too damn neutral for my liking.

The mix you did was what is was. Nothing struck me as sounding wrong about it IMO, although there are a few things about it that I would have done differently, but thats only because like all mixers everyone has there own personal touch and tastes in what their ears like to hear.

That track was sounding better than a lot of tracks I hear dudes trying to pass off as "pro" on myspace. Keep it up playa!
