Preach Right Here - JMac - JMac52 - 28-09-2014
I have a little different arrangement than most of the other folks, most notably I didn't use the dulcimer in the middle parts of the song, opting for bigger guitars in the bridge and at the end.
Any and all feedback welcome!

I like your point of view on this mix, good ideas!
I think maybe you've gone a little too far with some volume automation (of guitars and back vox), again it's cool to me but maybe too evident, believe they'd do their work even with a more descrete approach, without moving listener's attention from the song.
That for my personal taste of course!
Another thing I liked much is the distorted voice, had the thought to use it on my mix too but already used it in Angelsaint mix, so I didn't.
But it sounds so cool to me, gives a wonderful variation

Thanks for that feedback. This is the most that I've used volume automation and I can hear that I need to look for more subtlety.

Thanks, I used a heavy-handed filter on the vox after the interlude. I've never done that before but it was something I heard going there the first time I listened to the track.

Yes i inappropriately wrote "distorted", more intending the heavy-filtering effect maybe, but you got me right.
It's cool and well used, i can hear it was the song asking you for that as the result is very natural and in harmony with the song - at least to my ears! -
