I agree that it sounds excellent, but I think the drums are an "arranger giveaway". I fall into the trap sometimes where I like hearing the drums a bit louder than I would if I were in a live band, and that's how I hear this arrangement. The drums are so prevalent that they take away a bit of the "suspension of reality" (a theatre term) but sounding too perfect, maybe? It's hard to describe what I'm trying to say - it's not a negative - I like the song - I like the sounds used.

I fall into periods where I have the RH sound too loud ... just because I LIKE the sound I'm using .... usually a Rhodes EP. When drums are in front of the mix, it's usually a sign that the person mixing is not a drummer, and they are thrilled to have these great sounding patterns at their avail. Just my 2 cents - I don't meant to offend. Just wanted to throw my thoughts in, while I'm keyboard & guitarLESS. This packing is a huge deal, but I'm gettin' there.

In a few weeks, I'll have the studio up and running again, and I'll get to work!
