James May – Eliza Jane

[Frej]

This was as much arranging as it was mixing. I felt like this was recorded with the mentality: play throughout the song and choose later. I found that the it really helped to mute the mandolins during parts of the song and bring out fills and solos in the steel guitar and mandolin using automation. For the mixing, I was going for something warm, smooth and natural. I was referencing Joe Henry's album Invisible Hour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaIjRiB-2q0&list=OLAK5uy_mJZve6SsVh2hd3jtF7DohQdz2IJAk8s4s
