Yeah I hear you on that synth/bass type of noise for sure Jay. I just didn't want it too out front because of the noise itself. I'm not too partial to alot of trance noises, but I found it much less annoying to sort of tuck it in the back a little bit... haha Putting it too far in front of the mix would just make it too trancey for me... I hope that makes sense....

As for the loudness factor, yeah I've come accustom to having a really nice loud pressence to my tunes. I suspect I could back the master compressor/Limiter down a bit...haha but knowing me and the sound I like...I probably won't.

Most definitely appreciate your feedback Jay. I respect your opinion.
