Thanks Kapu,
yeah mandolin ended up low for a few reasons.....
1. balancing HF on RHS with Hat HF from LHS, so i set levels to compliment hat.
2. couldn't really find an EQ/Fx solution that sounded pleasing at a higher level without it becoming fatiguing and/or overbalancing RHS HF
3. the song for me was rhythm section, guitar and vox - mandolin felt like ear candy rather than a focal instrument.
cheers, Simon
p.s. re bass - i will investigate
Be fierce in your encouragement, kind in your criticism and try and remember that the art of a good critique is not to make someone else's mix sound like yours...but to help the mixer realize their own vision.
