ok, took another pass. i THINK i captured the notes here on volumes, effects and the drums.
and i also replaced the snare hit with a more consistent hit. i went further to limit the distraction, but curious what you think now.

@dana i’d love to hear your further thoughts on the drums and final stage mastering when you’re back from vacation!

@-PT many thanks for the pointers and affirmations! curious to here how this sits now. beginning still too loud? the mastering plugin might be contributing to that? as for whistler – it’s really hard for me to bury him – he (me) with that melody/counter melody were the original source / inspiration of the song on the streets of old stockholm…:) but maybe i’ll try one more go with just vocals with that melody no lyrics. or maybe the next version i connect with an instrumentalist, like a violaist…what would you replace it with?

paul – thanks so much for the additional listen and i love the story!

and forgive the delay in my reply – i read your note and then went way deep again into creative mode. not sure if where i ended up relative to these points above, but feeling done after far too many iterations :).

just submitted for distribution – will share back when it’s out!
