Thanks Eric!

The thin-sounding guitars at the beginning was the sound we were going for; a bit of a contrast once everything kicks in. Fair point though.

Re: the kick, would you suggest simply more level, or re-eqing?

I agree about the pumping hi-hat (particularly around the build-up at 4:35). Will fix that.

I'm actually not all that happy with how the vox came out. The chain was Rode NTK > GR ME-1NV > RNP. I ended up de-essing and eq-ing quite a bit in the mix, as the Rode was way too bright/harsh on this vocalist (but 'twas all I owned at the time).

Cheers for the feedback,

Jake
