Finally have a moment to reply. I did not try any kind of special effect processing. A song this natural and raw will draw attention to any kind of processing if not applied correctly. You really have to be able to hear very deep into the mix to make processing invisible but still accomplish your goal. My monitoring system is not to that point yet. Getting close though.
The one thing I love about this site is that you have 2 to 100 extra ears in different listening environments. Those extra ears tell you what you are missing while mixing. If someone says that the left side is a little heavy, it makes me search out why I did not hear it. Checking on every monitor and headphone I have until I find which one will expose the imbalance or problem. Then I add it to my mix process. Every mixer should have a process, an order of building a mix. It should be documented and update when ever you learn something that helps you work faster. I am always tweaking my monitoring system and my mixing process (my formula for a good mix). The extra ear on this site help me do that. I think that this is the true value of this website.
I finally have some free time and hope to post something new soon. Happy mixing everyone.
