Really need some help here and as many ears on this as possible. This is just an acoustic guitar and vocals so I can't really hide behind any mixing tricks. It was a case of using the demo for the final song because I could never recapture the original performance of this demo. It was sung into an SM7b, which I rarely ever use, and I can't even remember the acoustic mic, but it wasn't recorded in stereo.
How is the balance on the guitar? Muddy? Too much sparkle/harshness? I've been comparing the tone to some others that feel more... balanced in a way, but also more energetic.
As for the vocal is it too loud? Are the background vocals too loud? There's a natural saturation on it (I guess from how haphazardly I set up the vocal chain since it was just a demo, but I'm good with that).
Notice anything else? I'm okay with it sounding a little rough around the edges and I don't want it to be too polished, but any thoughts would be appreciated. I'm about ready to abandon this one and send it off to be mastered, but I just needed one final check.
