Nicely Balkanized settings. Fun.

Playing lately:
1924 Gibson A4 - 2018 Campanella A-5 - 2007 Brentrup A4C - 1915 Frank Merwin Ashley violin - Huss & Dalton DS - 1923 Gibson A2 black snakehead - '83 Flatiron A5-2 - 1939 Gibson L-00 - 1936 Epiphone Deluxe - 1928 Gibson L-5 - ca. 1890s Fairbanks Senator Banjo - ca. 1923 Vega Style M tenor banjo - ca. 1920 Weymann Style 25 Mandolin-Banjo - National RM-1
Are you referring to the panning? I put the mandolin track slightly to the right and the mandola track slightly to the left, whilst leaving the guitar central - I thought that this would make the distinctions between the instruments more appreciable, especially on the harmonised solos.
My apologies if you don't find this as appealing - I usually mix vocals, not instrumentals, in which case my objective is to make tracks sound as layered as possible. I'm certainly no expert though - I've just read some suggestions that this approach creates a more "surround-sound" feel, which is possibly more appropriate to my own sort of singer-songwriter style material.
Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment, anyhoo
Nicely done.
I think by balkanized Paul was talking about the rhythm/chording on the very beginning, which sounded more like an eastern European style than ITM. Or I might be completely wrong, but that's what it sounded like to me -- a bit like gypsy music until I let my ears acclimate to the jig timing in dusty windowsills.
I thought the mix was fine, if a little heavy on the guitar -- what can I say? I normally play where guitarists are relegated to the back and sat on fairly heavily!

Yep. I agree.
Wonderful. Except...wait, I need to find how to spell curmungion. (I do have a reputation for being a strict traditionalist.) The point is to understand and demonstrate that you know the subtle and deep character of an ethnic style. I have admiration for technical ability and a sense of fun. And five stars for that part. Now 'carry on'. (I'll quietly sip my Guinness in the back of the room).
