If you didn't hear that the vocals were mixed too loud on the first mix, that's ok. A few of us clearly did, and I assume that Donks did, also...which is why he was able to change it.

It has nothing to do with nitpicking. If you can hear something that might be improved, you make suggestions. It's up to the musician to weigh up whether those changes are worth the effort to make. There will always be a cut-off point, where diminishing returns meet the limit of our skills. But so far, with every iteration, DT seems to have improved things.

I don't think he needs to be coddled, called a genius, or have smoke blown up his arsehole, but what do I know?

The "loud" vocals were IMO reminiscent of The Velvet Underground so didn't need changing.

"Oooh I dont know. Sounds a bit scary"

DT is the most talented songwriter on this forum. Nobody is blowing smoke up his ass.

It only really became a "conversation" when you accused some of us of nitpicking, as though we were only in it to get our kicks pointing out minutia for no reason.

Given the very friendly, polite context of this thread I would call the use of the word “accuse” unwarranted don’t you think ;)
