You're right Diki. Earlier I went back in to have another listen (with more "fresh ears"-and really also having an overall better understanding of the DAW's features).

The drum track needed a reduction in the EQ to reduce the low end, but what really made a HUGE difference to it was that I set up a SEND track. I was right about the "conflicting effects". I set up a SEND track to handle a "global reverb" across the board. BAM.., major difference. I didn't realize I had so many different reverbs running (choc it up to just learning the software though).

After setting up a SEND track, EQ'ing the drum track, and doing some minute mixer changes, it sounds much better. I think I may actually have another go with this one and redo the piece completely now that I'm more proficient with the DAW.

** I am kinda tempted to hook up my S-700 and see how this thing sounds with Yammies Sweet Soprano Sax, and record that as an Audio Track **. So glad I'm switching over to a PC set up. I like my hardware units, but man, using a DAW with some good VST's can't be beat.

Making some major changes to my home set up. Selling my Roland Juno Di and selling my RS-70. My new Midi Controller/Control Surface will arrive soon ("MINT" M-Audio Axiom Pro 61) to replace my Juno-Di as a controller. Will be keeping the S-700 around though.

Thanks for listening folks.
