RonnieJones_WhyDontYouStay_Full - STICKY FADERZ - 04-03-2019
Hi guys,
Please let me know what you think of my mix. No edits to the original files were made. Mixed as downloaded.

Sounds nice. Very 'airy'. The kick might be a little too up front. I'm occasionally hearing the gate open up. I'm kind of missing the rhythm guitar in the verse. I hear it but I think it could be louder to break up the rhythm and add excitement to the verse. Between the acoustic guitars and organ it feels a little 'dreamy' and that guitar could break that up a bit.
The only thing that really jumps out is the contrast between the sound of the vocal and the rest of the mix. Overall it's a very smooth mix and the sound of the vocal is a fuzzy and gritty. It's just how he sounds and how it was recorded. So there's a little bit of disconnect between the vocal and band. If there was some element that had a little grit in the band maybe that would gel things more. My gut would consider some slight distortion or saturation on the bass or the organ. It's minor and not a problem but it's something that jumped out at me.
Good job.
