Tears In The Rain - Olli H

[pauli]

Most of the mix qualities I'm hearing are very nice... nice ambiance and the tone of the electric guitars is very nice. Once every couple bars or so, the spectral balance of the mix has a whole gets a bit "lumpy," where the nylons and the electrics are competing for the same spectral real estate... to my ears it's not an EQ issue, I think it might be that the narrowed dynamic range of the individual instruments makes them a little unyielding to one another... I wonder if slower attack times or easing up on the ratio of any compressors involved would give the instruments a little more transient and a little less tonal "body," allowing them to weave in and out of one another more smoothly?

Your Chet Atkins w/ Knopfler reference is a brilliant choice... I like that you name a reference when you post your mixes, I think I should do that too.

You're right though... this one is tricky... but not HALF as tricky as An Nasc Nua, which I might be attempting to mix for the rest of my life....
