Well, well. Been busy IRL with lots of mixing gigs this month. Had a day off and of course I decided to spend the evening with this one 
For some wacky reason this song reminded me a lot of Shinedown's first album's (Leave a Whisper) slower ballad songs. Mainly "Burning Bright". So I rocked that song out a bit before commencing this mix.
Inspired by that sound I put lots of FX into this one. I was kinda aiming for that stylistic tension that you get when you put some chorus and delay on acoustic guitar. Or when Andy Wallace mixes something more "earthy" sounding (and puts detune on everything anyway).
These source tracks had A LOT of noise. This was actually the first time I've had to clean tracks solely because of (digital) noise floor.
