Curious why you chose to leave the Gtr so low in the mix as it was his accompaniment instrument..? My thought would to have brought it to the foreground,...but then again I could have gotten in trouble with that chose...Any thoughts?
thx, Jeff

Thank you for letting us participate in your thought process and not only showing what you did.
It changed my mind of how to think about reverbs. Fill the space between notes and let it stop right before the next one.
These videos become an addiction!

Fab you are the king of the subtle mix. It's so subtle sometimes I can't tell the difference. Maybe my ears are cloudy, who knows. I'm a fan of less subtle mixing. I twist till I can really tell the difference. This being an acoustic song lends itself to the subtle mix. Good job, I just wish I could have noticed more of a change. Oh well

Great Recording!!! Loved the gentle mix approach! Downloaded the files and noticed that the room track has some rude static noise towards the middle!
Thanks Fab!
