Can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s been almost two months since I&#8217;ve had the time or the inclination to post anything to this blog.

		<description><![CDATA[OK, OK, it&#8217;s not THAT bad! Mixing is actually quite fun. No, honest&#8230;really. It IS! As I mention in Part I, you need to start with vocal tracks that are pristine, &#8216;dry&#8217; (no effects), and of the very best performance quality.

Even though I&#8217;ve been singing professionally for over 30 years (yes, I was a child when I started!), it always feels kind of crappy to be rejected, even when you&#8217;re rejected in a nice, professional way by a nice, professional person.
