Hello all,
I have finally found a couple of hours over the weekend to have a play with this one. Upon exploring the multi's for the first time, I was immediately drawn to the main electric guitar track and figured I would base the song around this. For me this approach worked well with the arrangement of the other guitars and I found their placement in the stereo field quite easy to position.
With my time constraints, I moved through this one swiftly with decisive, instinctive and for the most part simple moves and processing. The mix is almost in a LCR style panning. This was not my original objective, but just ended up that way as I moved through the arrangement. I also fell in love with the banjo rolls that emerges amidst the finale towards the end of the song. Thus I decided to hi light this part within a new intro for the song. This allowed me to utilise a bit more of those great backing vocals also.
Thanks to Mike, Joe Lonsdale and Diesel13. Wonderful content, We are so lucky

My final mix #2 added. Some minor reworking based on Mikes critique including some additional loudness processing.
