It sounds good. I think the vocal gets a bit overwhelmed by everything else. I think it could come up and/or maybe bring the two guitars back. The vocals could probably use some de-essing as well.
Yeah, the mandolin solo is a bit quiet. The horns sound good. They might be a little loud but I like them that way on this song.
Good job.
It doesn't have to sound good. People just need to think it sounds good.
Thanks for the review. I agree that the vocal can be a bit quiet at times, but I didnt want to compress a lot, due to the amount of spill. I'll see what will work. Tbh I already de-essed the vocal but it is still to much.
I wanted the horns loud and full, the mandolin however was just an oversight on my part
I like the environment you've chosen. I think the electric is a bit too prominent and could use some automation between intro, verse and chorus. Moving the electric to the center at the solo doesn't work for me. Was there a problem with leaving on the left? Pretty good though. A much more studio approach than I could muster.
