It is pretty obvious that you should high pass the tracks and remove the unwanted lows without damaging the instruments's timber. Nothing wrong with what you did.Thanks, i do go on at times.
The sax sounds great. The reverb is gentle enough. However I feel there's a problem with the guitar. Is a bit noisy and the attacks are really blunt. It's more audible on the first seconds of the track, when the guitar sounds muffled and as a kind of bad pizzicato feeling (while it should be strumming). I'll admit the DI is difficult to work with. The blank in the stems sound really unnatural, and adding reverb was necessary
Likely it is due to your first compression, maybe using an improper attack rate, or to low of a threshold. You could also reshape the tone using sweeping eq technique. I'd say you should remove a bit of the energy around 1kHz, so it's less blunt, and also softly raise some other parts of the spectrum to gain even more clarity.
Or maybe it's your final compression or limiting, but I'm not sure. Part from that everything is good.
The guitar squeaks and buzzes are prominent. Will automate the volumes and eq to get control. The eq sounds dull today (ear fatigue yesterday) added a bit gain at 3k.
Attack time was very low and transient was being smashed.
Mix bus limiter tweaking required and a cut around 1k to clear out the muck and energy.
Will re do and post.
Thanks again.
