James May: 'Eliza Jane' - thedon - 01-04-2017
Lovely song .
Here is version 1
version 2 Didn't want to mute the mandolin , put it further back in the room along withe the backing vocals and organ ,work in progress to make the sense of space more believable !
Cheers

Lovely mix and song, Don! The only thing I missed was a little bit warmth in the guitars in the intro. In the rest of the song, I think they're ok because then they would be interfering with the vocals and other instruments, so with a little of automated EQ, you can fix that minor issue... Well done!

Great intimate sound! I'm sensing some experimentation with sat/dist/clipping. The overall tone might be a bit middle rangish - nothing little abusive maul-the-band compression in the master could't take care of. Once again you've nailed it. ^_^

You are right ,I added maserati grp plugin to the master bus which is enhansing some subtle distortion on the multitracks .

Balances just perfect to me. Internally pretty coherent mix.
I agree with Kapu’s comment about mid-ranginess.
Is there in vox a bit too much saturation? Personnally I’d like to hear a bit fuller or "selling" vox in this song, for this feels like "man with a voice" recording.
Tremolo effect with mandolin (for example around 1:08) could be a bit softer. Now it takes a focus away from vox.

It sounds good, but maybe automate the mandolin. It's bit much at times.

The drums lock the rhythm in nicely. Well played.
You could try and side chain the mandolin around the vocal with a big RMS setting on a compressor. This approach works well and ducks quite naturally.
