Listen to track 6, Whichever Way the Wind Blows. I think it's the most successful sounding track. I just balanced the individual channels and didn't mix each track separately or do any automation on the mix down. So the vocal and acoustic guitar are a little uneven for some songs. The mix I did was just a little EQ & reverb, some compression but, no gain riding or ducking of the audience mics between songs etc...
