This isn't a band. And that makes all the difference. One amatuer, two ringers. Haven't spent time honing the songs on the road.
Don't treat them as a band. Big mistake.
Late December I mixed an acoustic trio plus drums that were recorded in another studio. They set them up "like a band". The only usable guitar tracks were the directs. These were pros that knew better. The studio talked them into the idea that the "vibe" would be better that way. They won't record at that studio again.
