Early in the balancing stage, I had some challenges getting the upright bass to not overlap the kick drum. My solution was to pan it pretty hard right, which allow the kick to remain present and punchy on the left side. I also opted to make the Rhodes and piano tracks more up-front, sitting just behind the acoustic guitars and bass. lastly, I added some theater reverb. I'm still not 100% pleased with the lead vocal track - it'll need some automation to bring softer passages to the foreground. This is what I've got so far. Comments are always appreciated.
In the alternate mix added, I lowered the horns, keyboards and snare during the lead vocals and added some automation on the lead vocal track. It seems a bit better now.
