Thank you Dave for your kind words. I've been practicing continuously for a solid year and trying to get up to speed quick because I'm middle aged and don't know how many more good years my ears have left
Listening to it now, I may pull back that snare drum in a few places where it pokes out. I tried to add a little extra reverb in those spots, but that didn't work like I wanted. I would have done it already, but the room mic will have to come down in those places as well, since it's about 25% of the snare tone.
FYI, I used Reaper with all free plugins. I thought it would be fun to list them:
