haha, thanks! i remember when i first started with a soundblaster 16 bit and no decent speakers.. it was just moosh. i wasted a lot of time back then so was sure to learn what's needed to clear out space in the mix to get things clear. i still have some things to learn, particularly how to get big sub bass without totally warping the mix.. that's my mission for the next few weeks.. any tips are welcome!

i'm sure we can teach each other a lot. i met a couple of great singers at steemfest so maybe we can all team up :)
