Delay in Track

As this track nears completion, I have run into a few issues:

1) Either my RMI piano samples are out of tune (don't think so but time will tell) or this track's speed was manipulated in the studio. The vocals are a bit out of tune when I place them on top of the MIDI file.

2) I need to work on how to get the hi-hat articulations correct on the drum track.  The samples I am using make the hi-hat part sound too mechanical.  If you listen to how these hi-hats swell, thus creating accents, you will see what I mean.

3) Steve's guitar part, ghostly in background during the chorus, is very difficult to re-create.  It's a real fuzzy guitar, perhaps this was the fuzz effect on the Synthi Hi-Fli? 

So, until I can get these few issues resolved, I have put this track on the back burner.  I will come back to this, but I have moved on and completed ANYWAY (see track listing on HOME PAGE to access).
