Flesh And Bone mix - HbGuitar - 30-12-2013
Hi guys,
New to this forum/website...what an amazing resource!
Here's my take on the song. I was immediately drawn to the pedal steel/vocal interplay which forms the focal point of my mix. I wanted the stand-up bass to sit in behind and used the accordion as a pad. The acoustic guitar fills between bass and accordion.
I've left plenty of headroom in the mix-down, an average of -18 dBFS RMS for the whole track, though it gets nearer to -10 dBFS RMS during the loudest parts, so you may need to adjust your speakers up a little.
Thanks for listening....any feedback will be gratefully received

Woops! I printed original mix-down with reverb channel switched off. Updated mix-down attached

Just took a swing at this, and saw your mix on here. I think you've improved a lot from this mix. I feel like the center channel is really small and feels cramped somehow. I hear your panning, and it's a pretty wide mix, so maybe that's why I feel cramped. The instruments on the side seem separate from the middle, and the middle just feels a little jammed up. I've heard a good bit of your newer mixes, and I would love to hear your take on this now. There is nothing glaringly wrong with this mix. . . I just think you can pull more emotion out of it with a re-balance. Not a bad mix, though!

Hey Draper,
Thanks for dropping by. I think that this was my 2nd ever mix, the 1st being "Backroom in Tulsa", so I'd hope to have improved a bit since then!
All the Wesley Morgan songs are so great to mix that absolutely, a fun project would be to remix this and BRIT and do them the justice they deserve.
Thanks buddy
Simon

Wholesale remix from scratch with a new session rather than tinkering with the old one. New panning and levels, new FX plus used mute button (quelle horreur!) on accordion for first two verses - mainly 'cos I wanted a stronger accordion presence 2nd time around but it was too much for whole song.
