Hello Dave
I heard your mix. I really like the sound on the vocals, it´s clear and bright and sits well on the mix.
The horns sit well in the mix but they´re open too far and sometimes they don´t sound like a horn section, but more as horn soloists because you can´t picture them playing together. If your purpose was to make a more open sound, try mixing them o a bus and adding a slapback delay, that will give you some stereo spread but without having to pan the horns too far from the center.
How did you aproach the mic bleed? I had trouble with that too.
In the ending you can hear some tracks cutting off abruptly, maybe fade the out in editing to make them smoother.
Overall it sounds very natural and clean, I would add more FX on the drums and vocals, but that´s a personal preference. Let me know what you think of my mix too.
Cheers!
