It was difficult to decide whether to go towards ”rough and lo-fi” or ”clean and hi-fi”. Vox-track demanded it to be lo-fi, but acoustic instruments kind of asked hi-fi.
After I studied my reference ”Dropkick Murphys & The Pogues”, I decided to go more towards hi-fi. There the attitude of band comes nicely through even though the sound is very clean and polished.
Also I was positively suprised the Dropkick Murphys didn’t try participate in loudness war. So I also decided to stay around -10db RMS.
But after all, I found this one to be a pretty difficult to mix…
EDIT: I replaced the old with this new version with tighter bass.
