      ​@LexingtonLabBand : Who does all the transcriptions of the horn parts? I notice the horns in your songs always have sheet music to go by, but everybody else is playing from memory. Someone has to write it all down for the horns. Great job, whoever is doing it. I don't see it mentioned in the credits anywhere.

      @@buckhorncortez LLB's recordings are very high quality, more than enough to single out things in the mix regardless of UA-cam's compression algorithm (which affects video quality far more than audio), and I'm listening on JBL studio monitors. The attack on the snare is just a little too punchy and could probably do with less EQ in the 4-6K range. Also, the lead vocals are sitting a bit too forward in the mix. But at the end of the day, these things are very minor, and subject to my own personal bias (and everyone has bias, even studio engineers). As a whole, this is an incredible performance, and fantastic engineering, no matter what equipment you're listening on.
