DJ,

I guess what I am saying about the acoustic is this, and I have found it to be true for myself. Not saying you have to do this, just trying to be more specific.

Real tracks are great (in general I mean) and I could not live without them now as a producer of my own stuff.

However, they are often so perfect (to me) that they are in some cases "too perfect."

So, I have found if I only add ONE part of my own, whatever that is, a simple electric arpeggio, or a very simple in the pocket acoustic strum, it gives the WHOLE mix more of a human feel, so that that you barely notice that the other tracks are "too good to be true."

Know what I mean?

If you just do ONE track yourself it can have a dramatic effect on the mix and give the whole thing a more soulful groove, because that one track alone can impart the quirk of imperfect human playing that makes it all sound more natural.

Hope that makes sense.
