Hi! Here's my mix of this song. There are lots of great elements in this song (god I love those strings!). I liked the way the glockenspiel sounded so I featured that as much as I could. The synths sounded a bit boring so I added some subtle interesting FX to each of them. I'll probably never end up liking the way the harmonica sounds in these multitracks.
Probably many agree with me when I say the drums were pretty hard to nail in this one. There's two very simple reasons for that. 1: no overhead(s) and 2: drifting samples. I ended up editing one the sample snares to align it with the original to help (but not overcome) the leakage issues. I didn't use any of the sample kicks.
I also didn't use any of the sample strings (just like in Hey Carrie Ann mix I did some time ago) because the real ones sound great on their own.
