I tried to create a smooth and modern sound. My main focus was to create warm but still clear vocal sound. And everything else I built around it.
My reference or checking point was Undantag from Bo Kaspers Orchestra.
Great mix Olli. All instruments sound nice and clear and I like the natural ambiance, very "acoustic".
Great job !
Erick
THanks!
Very nice, Olli.
all the instruments sound good but the acoustic guitar is simply perfect!!! great mix, Olli!!
What a great sound! And lots of very nice panning choices, too. I'd love to make a helpful suggestion, but I've got nothing. Fantastic job, Olli.
Thanks all
Good work,enjoyed the listen.
Thats a mix i would be proud of !
Love the fine modulation effect on the lead guitar, good call, and all other instruments sound great.
Only thing I would look into, if its worth the effort, Im not sure about that, but the last note on the hi flute each chorus has a little air "note" a little hi pitched noise i didnt bother to isolate and kill. But as noone else including you mentioned it I probably just are lookin for somethin to change. Great work !

Interesting. This is an approach most commonly found in video and film sound mixing; you get your production sound (live sound recorded on set) and ADR (replacement dialogue recorded in a studio when production sound is unusable for one reason or another) playing at a good level and sounding the way you want it, then you weave all the other sound and music around it. Smile

I must say I love that vocal sound, and you did a superb job of balancing everything with it. My only suggestion would be to brighten up the guitars just a tad; they have a nice warm sound that's pleasant on the ears but myself personally I like to hear a little sparkle from the high frequencies on an acoustic guitar. That's just my personal preference, though, not an indication of a problem. This is an extraordinarily well done mix. I really enjoyed it! Smile
