I hope so, because it's nearly 3 am and that's what I'm doing :-)(

Seriously though, it would be nice to get some clarification whether I'm doing right or wrong, if anyone could advise...

Thanks.....

Get the spec your producers contracted to deliver under, or get ready to do the mix over again....
