Yeah, over-analysis kills too many of my ideas. That's why I tried pushing this out quickly. smile

The violin (starting at :53) has a bit of a "harsh" sound (on my monitors) - not the silkiness that I would expect...(particularly in comparison to the flute). It's a bit loud, too, compared to the rest of the mix.

Thanks, I'll have another listen. I let Izotope have the final say on this, but I'll have my son help me out on the EQ tonight. I wanted a more "fiddle" sound, but shrill is never good.

If the fingerpick guitar is one of the stereo RTs, an effective "trick" is to center the track and add a stereo widener (in Studio One it is called a biaural pan...

Yes, it's an RT. I've intentionally panned it a bit manually, but after paring down the intro, it sticks out too much.

I'm using a stereo widener on the final buss, but I'll see what happens if I put it on the fingerpicked guitar.

I really like this guitar RT - it was the reason I picked the style in the first place. The A ⭢ C♯m move is lovely, and there's a really pretty E7 lick that didn't end up in this take.

Thanks for the useful feedback, and the nice words!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
