on third thought, the dub mix can and will be done - i really want this, so i'm forcing it a little. the only thing i'm taking out is the acoustic, which makes it a universal overdub (that is, it includes the original overdubs). acoustic guitars are beastly instruments when it comes to the mix, hogging the whole spectrum. and i made sure the acoustic guitars really did hog the spectrum, mixing it through three separate eq paths. what that means is taking it out opens up immense room in the mix, and i'm able to get the feel i want for this.

merely ripping those out created three parts very quickly. so, that's what i need to do, here - mix these extra parts into the dub mix, then see which ones i can take over to the final mix.

i should eat lunch first.
