Virgin/Raw Acoustic Blues for mixing

[rodmbds]

Hi, this is my second post in the forum, I've previously posted on the MP3 Contributions and then realized there's the Mix This! Forum.

Anyway, acoustic blues for mixing. It's totally "virgin" or "raw", the way you prefer it. Just recorded them. Two guitars, panned one 100% left and the other 100% right.

Beware I don't actually own a home recording studio or not even close to that, so I don't know if the recording quality will be up to the same standards as others I've seen/heard here.

Here it goes, link on Soundcloud (public and downloadable) or alternatively the song is attached to the thread:

Please, if any volunteers to try this out, don't forget pointing out what was done to the track.

Thank you!

Here's my attempt. I didn't do a whole lot, really.

Applied noise reduction to reduce hiss.
Re-panned it.
EQ'd to get the highs and lows more even.
Some compression applied to get it more even.
Some moderate reverb - just to make the room sound a little bigger.

I like it really dry and hissy, sounds like an old blues recording. Did a little transient shaping to give the strings a little extra snap and separated the image a bit.
