Jessica Childress -- "Slow Down"
#2
Your mix actually feels quite bottom heavy, especially toms and snaredrum. Your kickdrum solution isn't the best, to be honest. First of all, it's not tight enough in the lower frequencies. It doesn't sit well in the mixing tuning-wise, either. The song is in Eb, your 60 Hz are a sharp Bb. Tuning it precisely to a Bb or even to an Eb might work better. Though I think, the easiest solution is replacing the kickdrum with a sample and maybe use the higher spectrum of the old kickdrum for better definition. At least Cubase can create some MIDI data with ease based on the transients. There are also more extensive ways to create MIDI data. Check out youtube about that.

Concerning the backings they don't blend very well. The main reason is probably the wide spread. Using only half the panorama width might do the trick. Furthermore, make sure to control the dynamics of each channel with a compressor. I would also recommend to mult the "slow down, baby" part. It needs some emphasis on the middle voice to work.
