Whatever Happened, instrumental version

Here's an no-vocals version of "Whatever Happened To You." It's amazing how much the instruments pop when I'm not braying all over the place.

(You can find the full mix with vocals here.)

I mentioned earlier that I really liked the guitars in this mixdown, but now with vocals removed it occurs to me that the drum track is significantly better than what I usually come up with. I recently switched from FL Studio to Toontrack for drums, and the difference in quality is pretty amazing. (I still use FL Studio primarily for editing the MIDI drum track, though -- the pre-cooked Toontrack patterns are nice but just don't do it for me.) I'm not sure how they do their magic, but I like it.
