Anyways... here is the second pass on this in which I have worked on the lead sound to give it more prescence, including more variation and balanced it with the synth riff ... umm
stereo imaged the ride, which is mono so i couldn't stereo-widen it, by using a stereo-pan but modulated so that it sounds stable n not swinging from side to side...
put air into percussion loop and brightened up the reverb so that it balances the mix when the ride isn't there as this had too low a ceiling... and tightened the mix up slightly to make it a bit more tidy... I hope it works! :cheese:
