Here is my mix. I just messed about with the instrumentation and the panning and generally tried to give it a bit more of a smokey club atmosphere. This was mostly done by some shrewd mangling of good old GlaceVerb.

offthewall great job on the mix. I really like your assembly of the parts. It seems to give the whole thing more of a late night jam session feel. I struggled with getting all the parts in and not having the parts walking all over each other. You've managed to get everything to jell and not lose the groove.
On a personnel level I would probably reduce the reverb on the vocal tracks. I think this stems from my early recording days when I would drench everything in reverb because my performance was so bad.

[quote author=MRT link=topic=4969.msg28135#msg28135 date=1246446047 ...On a personnel level I would probably reduce the reverb on the vocal tracks. I think this stems from my early recording days when I would drench everything in reverb because my performance was so bad... [/quote] My thoughts exactly. Then, I remember the live performances with beaucoup de players/singers in an informal situation - invariably the reverb on the P.A. was turned up way too high. (almost like reverb is some kind of drug for vocalists ![Cheesy](https://www.kara-moon.com/forum/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) ) James' mix reminded me very much of that manic vibe, and it seemed to fit the occasion. ______________________________________________________________________________ Michael, it seems I neglected to comment on your mix, so here goes... You nailed the "small club" sound, very intimate - like the performers are grouped in a very tight little cluster on some tiny stage - the listener can almost hear the bleed-through of the instruments on the vocal mics. You managed to blend some very different tonal values and dynamics into a cohesive whole... schmooth!O0

I submit for your approval my final mix of "Growing Old with You". Honest. After listening to the the other mixes I wanted to try and duplicate that kind of jam session feel. I don't think I succeeded at that very well. I made a lot of changes to my initial mix most of them are pretty subtle. Added stuff I was hearing in my head, not always a good idea to listen to the voices.
I'm not sure it's better, but it is a little different.
Just like to add how much I've enjoyed being a part of this little effort. Thanks all MRT

I think this has the feel of a jam session ![](https://www.kara-moon.com/forum/Smileys/default/2.gif) This is the third version of this song I have heard and I must say I like them all. I glad I don’t have to pick a favorite because I think its a three way tie for first ![](https://www.kara-moon.com/forum/Smileys/default/2.gif) Great mix – loved it
