Another one from the Addison Lane Record.
Simple arrangement, basically just hard panned stereo acoustics and a vocal. There is also a piano track, and hard panned strings, but both very low in the mix. The heart of it is the acoustics and vocal.
These mixes can be tricky; there are so few elements, I feel you have to get them exactly right.
Me on all the acoustics, and the wife Christina Grace on all the vocals. Written again by Laurie Green.
Guitar was my Taylor 816ce through my Slate condenser (only single-mic'd it because I did two tracks hard-panned) Then there's a few acoustic fills here and there, and the actual solo, panned right down the center.
The three elements I'm obviously most concerned with getting exactly right are the rhythm acoustics, vocal, and the solo. And of course reverb levels.
Lots of subtle things going on here and there mix-wise; saturators, harmonic enhancers, tape and console emulators, etc. I use this stuff basically every mix, but with this mix being so sparse, I could really hear what it was all doing. Very cool.
Used the Slate Fairchild on the master bus; usually opt for the SSL on most mixes but was really liking what the Fairchild was doing on this song.
