Thanks Pauli! I'm used to mix my own stuff, but not so much mixing other's music.
I spend a lot of time producing my own music, which I do in my off time, and there's only so much hours in a day.
It also takes me forever to do a mix, so I need to be engaged emotionally to put that time in, but since I want to get better at it, I might start doing that. I know that the way to get better is practise, practise and more practise.
In the meantime, I thought I could give some feedback... critical listening is an essential skill in this thing, so it's win/win for everyone involved, given that it's honest.
Now I think you are right about the widening, the percussion in your mix are perhaps too big in the side channels.
Adding some body to the vocal might help... otherwise, I suppose you could back off the widening a bit.
