cheers for listening loopdon, if it sounds good to someone else then i can be happy that i've got the sound that i want and that it's acceptable to others:)

most of the verbs in megaverb have alot of the high freq removed as standard, there's a sloping eq built in, and yes i sloped everything from 5khz down to -13db at the top end, too much top end sounds silly tinny to me anyways.

still got a bit of a way to go to match my reference track which was the free speedy and literon track from the collabs project, i'll just keep dreaming on that one hehe
