Thanks Kevin!
Wow, to think you spent 14 minutes listening to the piece....really appreciate it.

Yes, I also think that the digital distortion are quite distracting. It's the price to pay for digital recording I guess. In the tape days, the natrual compression of tapes would have covered such clippings.
Anyway, it is really down to my sloppy set up , I saw the sound levels hitting the red zone but did not readjust it. Hmmm...I think this is an excuse to redo it...time to hit the studio :) woohoo!
