Downtempo - mix - andrzejmikosz - 27-02-2015
That's my mix of this song. What do you think?

I really like the effects on the harp, that said I would probably remove some of the low end from the harp.
Enjoyed the effect on the main pad also, and lots of the background noises are cool too.
I found the entire mix quite muddy, and lacking in clarity. It also feels quite sparse to me, which can be a really good thing - perhaps with more clarity to the instruments that sparseness would be more of a positive thing.

I've made some corrections regarding your opininon. What do you think?

Hi there,
First off I think you've done a really good job with the kick, it sounds great.
I'm not such a fan of the snare reverb, but that's a matter of personal opinion.
In general, because the pad is very quiet throughout, the bass doesn't quite have enough 'growl' to be engaging, and the harp sounds a little bit muted (boost some of it's high frequencies and turn up the reverb/delay effect on it perhaps) the entire mix isn't very emotionally engaging for me.
I think you've done such a great job on the kick, and getting everything in the right place frequency-wise, that now is the time to enhance it and sweeten it.
Thanks man!
