Hi everyone.
New to the community but very impressed by the mixes and comments I saw.
You guys seem to know your stuff!
If you could give some feedback on this one it'd be very appreciated.
Don't be afraid to criticize just because I'm new as long as you keep it constructive.

Cheers! Big Grin
Nice work dude, I am impressed for a beginner!

Specifically with this track, I am hearing too many people overly compressing, EQing, and adding too much reverb and effects, and I think your mix illustrates that less is more for this sort of thing. I definitely would try to put a little bit more reverb on the piano and drum overheads, just to open it up a small bit, but being extremely subtle with it can go a long way to making the mix sound even fuller and more spacious without overdoing it.
