In listening to the mix again, agreed the piano does sound a bit thin. That's what I get for going with an SSL preset *grins* I also should have read the about this track thread on here, because like the other track, I was having a bit of trouble getting the bass to sit in the mix. I therefore put a tube compressor on the bass to try to even out the peaks, but with the track having 3 different volume levels as the song progressed, the bass would continually get buried in spots. It's also why you might notice that the vocals level also gets louder as the song progresses, because as the song progresses, the overall levels get louder so I had to push the level of the vocals up along with it to compensate. One of the issues I ran across with doing that was the noise floor in the source recording, so I also had to mute and gate rustling, sniffing and the like that was there to clean it up a bit.
