Hey Draper,
Thanks so much for the feedback - another set of ears are always welcome. On another listen (over 75, whew!), with your comments in mind, I agree with you on all points. I chalk it up to listening fatigue. Another updated version will be uploaded today and I would appreciate you checking out the mix and commenting to assure that I addressed all points adequately. Of all issues the fade at the end is perhaps the most troublesome but I'm sure I can make it better.
What do you think about the strings? In a nutshell, this is how I did them. I took the 11_ElecGtr2Mic1 panned far left and 11_ElecGtr2Mic2 panned far right and soloed those tracks. I selected the area of the mix where I wanted strings and rendered them. I submitted the resulting mp3 to http://www.ofoct.com/audio-converter/con...-midi.html to convert to midi. I loaded the midi into SynthFont (synthfont.com) and rendered them using the General MIDI Synth Font file SGM-V2.01.sf2 (the best free sound font!) rendering to wav and pasted it to a new track. And now you have stereo strings.
If you'd like to try that Sound Font, you can download it from my google drive at https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Byf9Qbl...sp=sharing ... about 240mb.
Thanks again for the comments and the welcome!
