It’s just me - but I think there is too much compression on the guitars.

@Papanate , I wasn't hearing it but .. looking at my comp settings on the guitar bus , I saw a good bit of unnesasery compression. I've got it now just touching the high spots and only being used for some sustain on the capoed up nylon guitar tracks. I'll repost after further changes.
This is exactly why I ask for help in my mix/masters. I appreciate your help ! Thanks .. mark

The first time the shakers come in, I feel they’re a bit too much “in my face” -- perhaps more reverb? I’ve struggled with this in the past; I never really found the right reverb so the only solution was dropping by a coupla dbs.

Otherwise I particularly like the spacial image, vox verb especially.

Made quite a few changes and uploaded a new mix.
@Papanate , guitar comp changes made in new mix. Thanks ..
@Serendipity Records , I've had problems with the shakers. I've backed them off and used some fades at different spots. It seems like they are too loud when playing and the bottom drops out when they shut down (even after dropping the volume). Still not happy with them in this mix. I'll stay on it.
Thanks .. mark
