thanx for feedback on my mix Frej.. I'll give you my 2 cents on your mix now.
In general, it's quite good, the overall balance and warmth is there.. the vocals are sitting nicely,
"This was as much arranging as it was mixing"
100% agree.. you did the opposite as me though, and you buried the bass guitar and it's bordering on muddy, I'm having a hard time hearing it distinctly .. I feel like the strongest performance on this session is the bass playing and it holds a consistent melodic foundation.. so maybe we differ in opinion there.. in my opinion the mandolin is waaay too hot in your mix.. I used it very sparsely, seems like most of it (apart from the rapid textured strumming) is noodling and bordering on filler.. I don't think it's a unfocused mix though.. seems like you put quite a bit of thought into this mix, nice work overall.. I wouldn't call this an amateur mix though, it's fairly pro.. for the most part, sounds radio ready.
