Kudos on all your live playing! All the tracks sit together comfortably in the mix.

I don't know if this is useful information or not, but I'll mention it in case it is (it's purely a personal preference thing).... Did you try having the pedal steel 1 - 2 db softer so that it was like 'crying and sobbing in the background' rather than sitting quite so up front? While every thing in the mix is well balanced as it stands, I found myself wondering what effect using a softer pedal steel would create. So I pass on that thought. As I said... just a personal preference and curiosity kind of thing.

This is really, really good listening.

All the best,
Noel


Thanx Noel. That is a good suggestion that I will try on my next country song. I really didn't notice that until you mentioned it so thanx for that.
