Thanks for the feedback James. I wanted the drums to actually stand back 
and out of the way. I'll have to reconsider. I'm not sure what would 
account for the muffly phrasing on the vocals. I am using freeverb and 
the L/C/R Delay to give a bit of width to the vocal. I'll have to play 
with that some also.
