Hi Stu...
welcome!
can i ask that you encode to 320kbps for the sake of quality....it makes for better listening. well done on the mix...good start. just something for you to think about meanwhile: the guitar on the RHS is causing me fatigue because of the way you've EQ'd it? take a look and see what can be done to address the problem. if you do any boosts, i recommend you keep the Q value small..say 1.4 is an octave, anything narrower than this will have issues if you aren't careful. infact, if you can, i recommend avoiding boosting....try and cut instead. so, if an instrument isn't clear, try and cut material from the masking instruments? boosts often sound unnatural and it's easy to mess up....where as cuts are less intrusive on our ears and can be made quite aggressively without such consequences.
liked the way you got the organ out e.g. 2:20 onwards.
an early tip on reverbs....if you can hear them, you've dialed in too much. so, tweak until you begin to hear it, then back it off a fraction and that will probably do the job. of course, if you wanna be daft like me and make an instrument out of it instead, forget the tip and crank the dial hard!
keep up the good work
Dave
