What's up Cloud,

I feel like your revision has some mid information missing, that i feel like this songs needs. I think it's mainly in the horns. I understand that you did it so they could cut through the mix better, but I feel like I lose the natural feel of the winds. It also feels like there could be some comb filtering in your horn section? I might be hearing something else though, so don't hold me to that. The placement of the horns also seem to move and smear, so that is why I think it may be some phase issues. Could be a use of a plugin with multiple instances that introduces phasing. I know I have an exciter that I can only run once in my mix. If I have a second instance of it, it will cause all kinds of crazy phase issues.

I did just finish my first cup of coffee for the day though, so I'm not 100% awake yet, so take it with a grain of salt, haha.

Hey loweche6!
Thanks for the feedback. Agreed, the horns are a bit brittle and the "comb filtering" you are hearing is the effect of a chorus on the stereo horn buss. This causes the horns to appear to move around because of the sweep of the chorus in the stereo field. I liked it. It could probably be better tweaked for mid-range content and maybe slightly less movement. At some point I may get to that. However, please listen to the way the band of the horns connects the two panned guitar lines and the relationship of the content of each.

Thanks again for your astute comments.
