My mix
RE: Do Not Stand - dcp10200 - 26-08-2017
Overall you've got a balanced mix, I like the delay and reverb on the vocal and the smoothness of the low end in the mix. In the drum loop there's some honkiness at 1 kHz tha can be scooped out and the vocals need some cleaning up around 400 Hz, try cutting some 3 kHz out of the loop as well. While the vocal reverb is nice, try making the vocals dry untill the first "Don't Stand" repetition at 0:46, this will allow for some contrast and give some build to the track. I found fading in the first section a touch helps give a little bit of dynamic interest to the track and adding some more different delays further into the track spiced things up.
Really I can't say much beyond that, you've got a good canvas to work with in this mix and some simple automation of effects and other things can really make this track.
Cheers and hope this helps,
Doug
