Amy Helm & The Handsome Strangers: 'Rescue Me'

[thedon]

Hey Don,

Listened to mix 2. I think that the rhythm section is balanced nicely - being a country rock/pop song, a strong bass is part of that genre's DNA. I also like the guitar effect (phase, flange or something ?) and the vocals sound good too - which isn't easy so well done on all that.

little things that make me want to reach for the console - verse vox needs a push, especially verse 1( 2-3 db). You have such a strong rhythm section that you can easily do this.

Maybe guitar solo needs a push also, or it could be the fx, as it sounds a bit like he's playing way behind the band. I think that works fine during rest of song. Maybe automate (more) reduction in fx for solo so he takes a step forward.

Good work on a tricky mix!

Cheers, Simon

Thanks for having a listen Simon ,

Uploaded Version 3 with some more automation still needs some more tweeks .
