Julien, ok, thanks. You can see what i'm trying to do here is cut a project into manageable chunks. I'm about to start experimenting with mixdowns as i go, and evaluating just how much work it will be to keep track of it all. (I'm a reformed GUI addict, so be patient with me) I'm getting excited about this though. The ears are already sharper, and the copious notes i'm taking are starting to make sense. I'll make Jedi yet. Regards, Alex.
