New video is out

Finally finished the mix for this song. The full version will be on the album/portfolio and it features a more complex orchestration, with drums, guitar, bass, piano, cello, oboe and flute - which have been now edited and are waiting to be mixed. However, this video is part of the promotional strategy: posting on Youtube acoustic versions of the tracks that will be available for purchase in full version later on. This also means that, when I put out a compilation of 'best of' acoustic performances, I'll be able to essentially sell the same song twice.

The video was finished a while ago, but I had trouble with the mix because:
1) piano was muddy and had lots of noises on it (pedal and chair squeaks)
2) vocals were very loud on all piano tracks, therefore pitch correction was very, very hard to do without the sound getting all phasy.

The first problem was fixed by using Izotope De-crackler to get rid of (some) noises, and by a lot of EQ-ing and making up for the cut out frequencies with the Waves Exciter.

The second problem was a bit more difficult to tackle, and, funnily enough, where both Auto Tune and Melodyne (!) failed, Logic X's Pitch Correction managed to fix the pitchy notes without being extremely obvious. I would have never expected it, but it comes to show that sometimes some plugins might serve certain purposes better than others due to their different algorithms.
