Hi everyone, i tried a lot of sidechains and riding on this song, i didn't do any kind of mastering after mix so use your volume knob ! Hope you like it.
Any opinion is welcome. Thanks !
Are you a drummer? Smile It sounds like it from this, in that the drums feel rather overbearing in the balance. The melody is what this arrangement is all about, yet the fiddle and bass solos are mixed a bit like backing parts. The guitar comes forward better, though, when it arrives, although it does sound rather detached from the band on account of the wide panning and relative lack of blending ambience/effects. I like the overall feel of this, though -- it's a bit more rock-and-roll than some mixes of this multitrack. Not exactly acoustic -- more of a compressed americana sound, which appeals to me.

Thanks for posting!
Mike, firstly thank you very much for your opinion, it is really helping to figuring out what is wrong and needed.
I didn't compress too much, i used mpressor on every buss, gain reduction is near 7-8 db and stereo buss just 1 2 db.
I agree with you about lack of ambience, i did mix the effects lower and pan wide for 'artistic reasons' --haha-- but after reading your reply i just opened session again and did a lot of changes on panning and reverb-delay thing and riding again, drums are hard to find out but i think its best of me for now. I am posting new version, hope you like it more. Smile

And yes i am a drummer !

Thank you very much for your time.
Here is second one.
