Tried this too... - Lammy - 11-05-2016
Hi there,
maybe it is just me but I had some phasing obsession while listening to the raw tracks. In addition, the moment I tried to throw in a little of reverb, it was just getting muddy. But how to (try to) align a stereo ambient take with the two solo instruments?
I first aligned the stereo L to R ( R +7 samples) then the guit to stereo (guit -97 samples) and finally sax to stereo (sax -24 samples).
The "aligned" sounds far more compact.
Added eq, compression, a plate reverb, a glue reverb and some tape saturation (all light touch). Ah, and a little transient taming to the guit solo track. "Easy".
Opinions appreciated.
cheers.

Very clean, Lammy. Your attention to detail has brought us a nicely coordinated mix.
Tape saturation is a good idea on this one to make it sound less sterile or clinical. With this being the idea, maybe you didn't do enough.
