To me the bass is maybe a little loud? Also, maybe it's the delay/verb on the lead vocals, but there's some low-frequency stuff happening on them that's jumping out a bit to me. It's also a personal thing, but the room verb on the slide guitar makes it sound like it's in a different space than the rest of the instruments. If that's the effect you're going for, then awesome!
Thanks, ridcullylives.
Ya. The bass maybe could come down a hair. I put it fairly high to help keep the mix moving. I'll "look" at that again.
I'll check into the vocals, too. I've actually already remixed them because there were a couple of little things that were bothering me. I decided to use no compression this time, opting to use volume automation instead. I'll upload my updated mix after I check the bass levels again.
When I first heard the tracks, the slide guitar really struck me, so I wanted to feature it in the mix. Believe it or not, I was able to get the sound I heard in my head! I added some subtle doubling in places to help the track pop. I also tweaked the levels just a bit in my updated mix.
