Well, okay...
My thoughts may be scattered, I'm listening while writing.
I wonder about panning the slide guitar/ dobro and acoustic finger picking
guitar just a little farther apart during the intro? Or panning the finger
picking guitar another 20 percent over all.
How about filtering the first 4 bars of the intro? Or maybe just the slide
guitar and finger picking guitar during the intro?
I would probably just take out the first cymbal hit, or reverse it. It
seems to stick out and be a little pointless.
I may think of moving the tambourine a little nearer to the center for most
of the song. Yeah, I know, you may run into problems with the field seeming
a little more offset because you also have the shaker panned hard... If the
finger picking guitar is panned a little more to the left though, it may
carry that side in place of the tambo. Its all in experimenting.
For a minute I was thinking about making the lead vocal a little more
direct, but I'm digging it the way it is. Maybe bring the backing vocal
down a DB or so though.
Maybe some copying and pasting of the vocals is in order near the end of the
tune? I may would try copying the "your gonna miss me when I'm gone", or
just the "when I'm gone", filtering that down with the telephone preset in
the sonitus equalizer, and pasting it in as a repeat, kind of in the
background.
Like I say, these are just ideas, all of which may not even work for the
tune. Its hard to know what a guy is working with when your judging
changes. After all, for all I know, you may only have 1 or 2 tracks of
drums, maybe the guitars weren't stereo miked and so on.
Some times, its just a matter of what you have to work with. I can't count
the times I wanted to change something in someone's mix, but couldn't
because I didn't have enough tracks, or I was given a track with an affect
printed on it, or something.
Like I said, I think you did a fine job on this man. Nothing in the world
"wrong" with your choices, for my ear, I liked them.

Hi Shawn.
Yeah, I spent hours just fixing vocal problems with that hip hop song.
maybe i should put "song" in quotes!
About the other track though, what would you have done instead? Come on,
let fly man. :)
