Nostalgic mix Igor Comerio

Very nice. Vocal is very good. Guitar feels a little thick around the middle and in opposition to the vocal.

Thank you very much for the suggestion. To be honest I found the guitar with a lot of bass and a closed sound from the recording, I even tried to bring more shine but I think it escaped the original idea of the composition. That strong bass that led me to slightly shift the pan. I understand your consideration and think it's valid. If I had the possibility I would ask for a new recording with a more open sound and maybe with a stereo mic technique

I like your idea about the stereo mic on the acoustic. And I agree the guitar recording limited the balance and placement of it. In my mix I have three compressors and two limiters on it and a doubler with the dry and doubled tracks panned left and right to get the stereo. I may need to automate it as well. It was and still is a tough nut to crack. Don't be afraid of automation. It defines your interpretation of the meaning of the song. Not only do the tonal choices and placements we make hopefully enhance the song but dynamic movement to emphasize the message or feel as well. Sometimes the players need a hand in all those aspects. Ideally, they don't and we can just present. Those jobs are the icing on the cake.
