Hey Phil, I like that! Good job. It's an interesting and refreshing idea to do the first verse before the intro.
Here is, what I experienced during my first listening: I found the guitar a bit to loudly (after the "old fashioned" virst verse. And as soon your good singer takes over: the first thing I did was to add a bit bass frequency with my mixer. The seconth time the guitar suddenly wasn't too loudly for me anymore. Probably because I knew what would be coming and I didn't turn up the volume as much as before ;-) I still would add a tiny little bit more bass after the guitar intro though. Of course it's just my subjective impression and opinion :-) It's amazing what can be done with what you had available. What gear did you use in addition to your mentioned computers?
