I think those claps in the intro could come up quite a bit. I feel the vocal needs some more weight or grounding especially in the opening verse and possibly up a dB also. That been said, balance is good and the mix has that commercial sound to it. Time to have some fun with some automation if you haven't already. Automation... have I said that before somewhere? I feel like my repeating myself. Oh well.
Hey Dave
I actually turned the claps down and high cut them, Ill try turning them back up again. Automation!!! I guess I'm not confident in my automation, your right I should just get a bit more aggressive with it. There is volume automation on the banjo, L guitar and the organ, but very slight moves. Ill give it another shot and see how it goes. The vocals were weird, I tried a bunch of things to get them to pop, even put a U87 pre on them and the just sounded flat, I might have de'essed them too much also.
Thanks Dave, that helps a lot.
