Atmos for music would seem to be logically limited to high-profile artists due to the expense of the whole thing. I'm a big Colt fan and sure, Atmos is a very cool concept etc. but totally unrealistic for far too many artists to ever become THE standard format.
Agree with @HumanPlanet.
I'm not familiar with the original song, but arrangement-wise, I do think that experimentation with light percussion is warranted. You can always cut it out if it doesn't work!
Oh it's JJ Cale inspired, that makes sense now. I used to hear his music quite a bit some time ago... good vibes.
Anyway, good luck going forward on this! Looking forward to any further developments.
A bit of 2.5k peak in some places, to my ears?
Nice song! Arrangement-wise, you could experiment with a percussion loop; very simple, cajon or bongo? just to add some texture to the recording.
Century Tube Channel Strip, until September 15th. It's 200 quid otherwise!

OMG...
So y'all are probably not wanting to put your ears through my falsetto voice ever again, and that's fine. But I recently bit the bullet on T-RackS 5 MAX, and decided to test-run my new baby on this project. The result is an entirely new mix on this project using ONLY IK Multimedia...
@Look out!R4XvW3 No distortion there, I think the mic is too close to the point of contact between pick and strings. It might sound like distortion because of the hearing problems, but I can't tell you for sure because I am blessed with perfect hearing.
Try positioning the mic 1.5 feet away...
Beautiful... Fine guitar work there!
No nits on my side other than both guitars sound a bit rolled off in the highs, particularly the player on the right.
Is there a gain setting on the interface? It may be a bit high? Make sure the fader in REAPER is at 0db and the meters are within that range when you set the gain.
Compressors with acoustics are tricky, but giving it a go won't hurt :) Just looking up the Keeley now and no one seems to use it...
