**NEW** Home In the Country - Shortened Arms

[Mixinthecloud]

I found this track to be a straightforward and enjoyable country twanger which was well performed and nicely recorded. The unusual instrumentation of a concert harp certainly is unique and was a fun addition. I did not have much problem with bleed although I did take my time to cross-fade out most of it between phrases in the vocal tracks.

My concentration was mostly on the vocal and making sure Mikaela's voice was solid, smooth and understandable. 
There's just a bit of automation, mostly on the vocal master buss. 

I have offered up both an unfaded and faded version of this mix (identical but for the fade), just to see if it flies.

Comments appreciated. 

Enjoy.

Home in the Country - Mix 4w

As much as I hate to admit it, Monk is right. My first mix is a bit hard to listen to for all the reasons mentioned in the thread. While I am uncomfortable with the man's approach, he is hardly ever wrong. 
Mix 4a is redone with a more focused vocals while allowing the lead to fall back into the smoother ensemble.
