Ah. OK.. but maybe that's part of the style.. Vocals buried, too loud

distorted guitars, weird pitch bends sounding like tape issues.. Not

sure if you know the sound but listen to:

(and the related songs from that album)
to get an idea of what I was aiming for.
But I agree it all sounds amazingly over-loud despite being <0 dB overall.
Personally I like the pitch bending, but not 100% sold on the

distortion, so I will attempt some more alterations.

Not yet - I'm using a demo version, so no access to that.. Still, I'm

really sold on the program - particularly the vocal capture bit - so I

will probably buy full version (and get access to the beta) in the new

year once I feel I'm allowed to spend money on myself again!
