I decided to take an entirely different approach to this song than I did the first time. After I got the vocals where I wanted them I made the acoustic guitars the focus of the instruments and built everything around them. It seemed to work for me.
Nice job. I like your treatment of the acoustic guitar as the primary instrumental focus. I struggled with the acoustic vs. electric when I worked on this tune. There's a lot going on with the electric guitars, the acoustic recording was just OK for me, and they all seemed to be competing against each other. You worked it out nicely. I would like a little more background vocal too though. Overall nice improvement.
Hey Brendan - nice drop at 0:46. Good production decision.
Maybe that jangly guitar chord could come up in volume to fill out the empty space a bit more.
Is it just me or do the middle 8 vocals seem to go out of time - from 1:40 onwards? They seem to come in a bit early as if some of the audio files have been accidentally moved (lead or backing - I can't tell which)
I think you have wrestled about as much clarity out of the song as anyone has been able to with these tracks - nice work
