Thanks for the critiques and suggestions. The main acoustic and vocal were recorded at the same time. I built the track around those two. The backing acoustic is also recorded via a mic--and, I agree that the acoustic is bright--I wanted to stay somewhat forward in the mix, and I overdid it with the EQ (there's actually very little additive EQ in there-it's mostly too loud, I think). The drums were added by me, one or two elements at a time. Terry Ryan, the singer/songwriter/guitarist, can't play to a click (wouldn't play to a click), so I felt out the rhythm and painstakingly filled in the drums.
Brian, I think the panning and ambient/background stuff is actually just too loud at points--the balance of the mix is off, especially the bass. I automated the panning on the lead guitar to move it a bit when the vocals came back in I originally had an electric bass, but scuttled it because it sounded like crap--and, I can't play bass very well! So, a key bass went in, and after I switched monitoring systems some time ago, a lot of the older mixes (like this one) had way too much bass, in relation to the new monitors, so I know I then under-compensated. I'm going to pick up some Focals in the next couple of months, and start using them. I'll check out this mix again, and see what I hear. It's always a good idea to get away from a song for a while, and I spent a lot of time on this one. Thanks again for the comments.
