Mix My Song: Here's The Bundle!

I had a lot of fun with this before so I'm doing it again. I have posted a link to my bundle file as well as a link so you can listen and see if you even like the song. I've gotty a sloppy unmixed version for you to hear on Soundclick.
  The only thing I ask is that you post a link to your particular mix and you share a little bit about how you mixed it so others can learn.
   You can mix the song any way you want and get as experimental as you want. You can even track your own stuff into it if you want.
You'll need Winrar to uncompress the bundle file.
 Here is the song so you can listen and see if you wanna do it. "Winding Highway"

Have Fun! Travis

hey Travis,
nice tune.. nice willi nelson-like vocals.. and a nice collection of guitars!!
your mix is pretty good already, but for me it was a bit too "dry"..
so I started to use some reverb..
I also used some eq to brighten up the individual tracks.. (probably too much in the end)
I also tried to get rid of the "metronome clicks" in the middle of the song and tried to reduce the noise from the start and ending.. now I hear that I introduced some noise on the vocals due to parallel-voice-compression.. I would have to need to automate that..
on some parts the vocals stand up too much, probably also a case for automation.. :)
anyway.. my favorite effects are compressors.. so, I ended up using them on almost every track.. just to tame the peaks a bit.. all UAD-plugins and Melodyne (instead of non-owning "Autotune" on vocals).
From a musical side I think there should be more happening on the chorus.. I didn't find a way to pull-up a track to get the behaviour that I was looking for.. on the other side that could be left for future drums, if you'd plan any..
anyway..

Brundle,
It wasn't actually on this forum. It was here

Thanks Jonas,
       I'm gonna have a listen today after work. I think the popping you're hearing is the stand up bass. It was from a sample library and I think it's just the sound of the finger interacting with the string and it's slapback.

Well apparently private messaging is not working right now.

You can always track me down via my website.

If the pm is not working send me a email to adaudiorecords@yahoo.com to email you the mp3, I have no idea how to make a link to it, thanks.

To the one who said Travis’ voice sounds like Willie, no names mentioned Frank, what a horrible thing to say. Jk :)

This mix uses only the tools and plugins that were included with Sonar.

more than a remix, added instruments & bg vox, composed some additional parts
turned a country song into a country/pop song

mixed dry, no reverb.

the final version would be exactly the same plus reverb. i'm too lazy to add reverb & i like dry mixes, very inyourface

I figured it out. I downloaded foobar. Interesting mix. Very Beatlesque. The drums change the feel of the song totally. Lead guitar reminds me of something off of Abbey Road. I also noticed the piano at the beginning and in a couple of other spots. Background vocals are pretty dry like you said.
           Thanks for giving it a whirl. It's very fun to listen to.
