Lovely opening vocal sound as far, as the highs are concerned in particular, although with perhaps a touch too much low mids. Yes, they do give intimacy, but it's a trade-off between that and woolliness. The balance when the full band arrive is well-judged and well-controlled, and has slightly more rhythmic drive than my version, which I quite like. (It's your weightier kick that's doing it, I think.) It actually gives a bit more ebb and flow to the section dynamics too, which appeals to me as well. Good idea!
The HF jangle on the acoustic guitars is more that I did too, but again I like the way you've made it work. It doesn't go so far that it distracts from the lead lines, but gives a twinkliness to the arrangement as a whole that makes the mark-tree tinklings somehow more of a natural extension. An interesting side-effect. One suggestion: I think your mix feels a bit narrow in stereo. A few spots of widener-effect here and there and a touch more realism and 'height' in the communal space you're creating with your reverbs would be improvements to my ears. A touch more 700kHz might not be a bad idea either -- because there's a hint of hollowness about the ensemble texture a times. You could probably get away with allowing a bit more of the low midrange from the guitars and piano through into the balance, even if that means pulling back the bass a little in that region. That might help your mix envelop the listener a bit more. Thanks for posting!

Hi Mike,
Thanks, for your elaborate feedback! After listening to my first (quick) mix I agree with the low end of the lead-vocal. I tamed it a little bit. (mix2) Regarding the stereo image: I am not really sure whether I align with the general stereo image comment. I tried to enhance the image on the solo guitar, as a sort of spot effect, but for the rest I didnt' really feel need for extra spot effects/wideners. I am really curious if you can give some concrete spots/effects where you would like to hear the extra depth! Funny that you mention it, I find the 700Hz region can be tricky sometimes: too much of it and it can sound 'cheap' , to less and you can lose 'meat'. In the new mix I dialled back a little bit of low-mids, however It feels that it's at the edge of getting muddy...?

Another great mix of yours
![]() I agree with Mike, a little more 700kHz could be nice ! (joking about the typing mistake ![]() Love the drum ambiance. Your kick is just splendid and makes a solid "chair" for the mix to sit on ! I listened to v2 while reading, and find that there could be even less low mid on the lead vocals... not much, but it still a little muddy compared to the rest of the mix. Your piano sound is just great, and i love your classical guitar treatment, almost sounds like a baryton guitar sometimes, with lot of body and a very pleasant "wood" sound.. Great job !
He Xabix,
Thanks for your reply! Yeah, that 700kHz range really gives the mix the needed sparkle and you can also use your speaker as an antenna! ![]() About the lows on the vocal: Personally I would not cut it back more, since in this song the vocal is most important..
