hey subvibe, thanks for listening and commenting.
the mix isn't thin, or overcompressed, the compression i use is very transparent, and i put across in multiple locations so there's never a buildup..
but the mix could be off.
i remixed it, and brought the vox up a bit, and changed the eq on it, so it sits in a different range of eq.
complemented that on the acoustic guitars.
i'll tell you, it IS a big difference when the opening electric rhythms are playing the dual slide parts, but then drop out when the vox comes in...
so i changed that part of the mix too, and i think it should sit better now.
