Had some fun with this. It was recorded okay, gave me a little challenge. Vox needed a bunch of automation, I think that's really the biggest thing I had to deal with. I didn't want my compressor all over the place, ya know? AutoPan is also a really good friend of mine. Since I'm in Atlanta, I usually work with HipHop/RnB, so AutoPan is good for AdLibs, but it works so brilliantly with mono instruments that shouldn't stay in one place. I wish there were two of the Ska guitars

It feels pretty good overall. I find the panning guitar distracting. At least on headphones. It might be more subtle over speakers. Once the piano comes in the center of the image becomes a little more grounded and the effect works better. I also find the vocal delay a little distracting too but I've had a lot of trouble finding a vocal delay for this song that I like so maybe I'm just sensitive to it.
Solo guitar is a little loud in the 2nd Chorus and takes the spotlight away from the vocal.
The tom in the bridge pops out a bit too much.
Other than that it all works. Tonally it feels well balanced. Good job.
