Hi Thomas
Many thanks for the comments. I 'm glad you liked the mix and the atmosphere created.
Obviously this is a vocal-centric mix as the vocal arrangement suggests (demands?) and having the guitar player/producer commenting like this is a good thing!
The third chorus has a great buildup and was left intetionally at this level "touching" the lead Vocal. I think that third chorus and last guitar part are the peaks of the song, so that's why
I didn't spread more the middle guitar part. There are no compressors anywhere in the mix -except for the bass. As for the vocal track, I liked so much the expression
it had so I decided to go the hardway with much "gain riding" and no compressors.
(Was that an angel singing...?) Still, it needs some more refinement in a couple of places.
Nevertheless, I thought I should explain my mix approach.
Thanks again for the observations.
