Rime Of The Ancient Mariner cover

Must've been the panning somehow. Odd things can happen without one thinking of it or even noticing. Happens all the time. Regardless of data compression, they do not move as much to the right as they did in the first version. They change a bit yes (did a listening test regarding compression recently which demonstrated several of the points in the SoS article), become obscured and due to all other artifacts of the data compression, appear to shift place a bit, but they can't move in the way that they did in your first version so the panning must've been off somehow - That's the only thing my logic tells me, but I could of course be wrong. Mysteries of audio :D. In any case, it sounds good now so it's of no consequence. And I bookmarked the article, interesting stuff that's a keeper. I

Was the entire drumkit panned right or just elements of it? Someone else said the bass drum sounded way right but how can this be if they're all on one track? I never bothered really listening to the Soundcloud upload as I've never had a noticable issue before. At home during playback, if the entire left side of the drums were missing, I would notice. I may not be Kevin Shirley but I would have noticed. Strange... Anyway...
 
As far as I recall, everything about the drums were more right than now. Perception of the stereo imaging depends on your positioning relative to the monitors (and the monitors positioning in itself) and the acoustic environment they are used in. For correct placement in regarding to you and the monitors, the relationship would have to equal that of a perfect triangle (so that the sound of each monitor arrives at your ear at the correct time). Could also be that the monitors volume levels aren't corresponding so that one is a bit louder and that affects the stereo image. And it could be the ghost in the machine, that somehow the panning, for whatever reason, had changed at the time you bounced the track.

All true. Good points. Cheers pal.
