My mix! Criticize it!

The bass does sound over processed. Try a fast attack slow release (200-300ms) compressor setting and listen for the right amount of knock down without over doing it.

Did this, it worked.

My Reverb Plugin (Guitar Rig) introduces a Dry signal into the output by default, and I forgot to disable it. This was pretty obvious, don't know why I forgot to check this, haha!
I also was also able to cut out the bass from the piano track through a brickwall HPF.

I adjusted the EQ and made a Prefader Send to my Reverb, Then I pulled down the Trackfader. I think it worked well.

No, of course not! I want to use as little Reverb as needed for this Track, but you convinced me to put more on it. It's the same convolution reverb on both vocals and the instrumental. It gives the whole thing a more three dimensional feeling. Still have to figure out which settings I like. Smile I also added a multiband compressor on the instrumental to further glue it together.

Thank you very much for your suggestions! As you can hear they helped immensely.
