when I recorded the first cd it was with the intention of using it as a guide/learning tool for the next band that hopefully wouldn't fall apart before anything got done - so the vocals were on one side only, and really quiet, as I didn't want to sing - they were there for someone else to learn..both of those cd's were done in one shot single pre-dawn sessions. I now have the luxury of redoing tracks, but yeah, I'll use a track that has the feel I want, regardless of any other issues.
there's been a gradual acceptance of the "singer" (and the other roles) - and effort to improve in that regard. don't spend much time with my basses though.
thanks for listening, and the kind words.
