Here's my take on the song. Very cool groove it was fun mixing this one, even with some of its challenges. I went a slightly different route than some of the other mixes. I separated the acoustic and electric guitars as opposed to mirroring them on both sides. I think it kinda gives it more a live recording feel as opposed to being done in a studio. That wasn't my intention, I was more interested in capturing a certain sound with the electric guitar, cause I liked the interplay between it and the lead vocal and that's why I did it that way.
Probably the most challenging aspect of this song is getting the drums to sound right. There was quite a bit of bleed on the tracks, and I found myself having to gate both the kick and snare. The snare had a lot of hi-hat in it too, so getting the right balance took a bit of work, especially once I had started getting the rest of the instruments their space. A simple eq on the snare started to make the hi-hat more present.
Anyways, let me know what you think, good or bad, I'd like to hear how this translates on other speakers.
