The Long Wait - Dark Horses

[lydkjell]

Hi

So here goes:

I've been working on this song for a long time, put it away 3 times, have been very frustrated but returned to it with fresh ears and newfound energy.

The hardest part has been to get the drums to sit in the mix, I haven't replaced them, only eq and compression.

Finding the right level and sound for the acoustic guitar has also been hard, it is "the engine" of the song so it has to have a clear presence throughout but still not take to much space. The solution was level automation.

I'm still not happy with the mix but I'm in need of input to point me in the right direction, as I'm running out of tricks.

All comments are appreciated!!

Thanks!
