This is my favorite Tim... The acoustic guitar sound is sublime... I love both versions...

Call me a remix bigot, but I like the last version better, with the picked acoustic being prominent, and that melancholy synth coming in later. 

I listened again, "to both." I believe that picked acoustic "sets the stage" for the production? And it seems lost in the remix... I know it's still there? But there is an emotional pallet being dipped in to with that guitar at the beginning of the last/first mix posted on this thread. Trust me, I am a person who listens to music and cries... Usually? It's because one of my mixes just sucks no matter what I do. But your stuff is "consistently" good. You've even made my stuff good? So I know "for a fact" that YOU are one of the men? So while I can't speak as a mix master, or a production master? I speak as a person "who feels music..." And believe me on that one, "I feel the music." (trust me, I actually kiestered a CD for a friend in prison? (to get it to him on a visit.) And coincidentally? It was "I got the music in me..." (AMAZING COINCIDENCE!) 

 The 1st version, the intro? It's better...

Thanks Lynn.  I think maybe I have one with a tuba. I'll look around....:)

If you do, go with Samplemodeling... You can't go wrong with Giorgio and Stefano...

Robbay.. Thanks. But, you lost me. LOL... So, you like the first mix better? Is that correct?
Cause you latched on to what I was trying to achieve as the 1st version intro seemed like too much as it overshadowed the acoustic coming in.

I think I should re-order the links in the OP as the first link is the 2nd mix and the 2nd link is the first mix.
woops.
edit: changed


And yes, I try to mix for human beings not producers... LOL (again).
Sorry for being dense.

Hi Tim,

Fantastic tune and mix, man. Both versions are great but, if I had to choose, I love the acoustic tone on the 2nd one...but I prefer the intro in the 1st version. Which isn't really making a choice, is it?

Well, either way, you are really a master and this is just great.

Thanks Gary. Yes, that's making a choice indeed. Appreciate it.
Where's your new one?.....

Yes sir, I thought the 1st one was better. I really like the acoustic guitar in the 1st one better. But "it subjective" ya know? JMO

So if people express no opinion? Disregard.

If people express an opinion for mix2? Maybe weigh it against the #1 product and split the difference? I don't know how you do what you do, really; it's a black art...
