too much fx on your guitars.. they don't even sound acoustic.. they sound more like electric guitars.

here is a tip for you. Balance the instruments first with volume and panning, once you hear that raw balance sound.. that's the overall sound the artist is looking for man, they wouldn't record it like that otherwise. I feel you over do everything, eq, reverb, delay etc..

If you can't deliver what your client is looking for.. you suck at mixing bro. saying "find another mixer" is limiting your self and closing the door.
An Engineer solves problems.. he doesn't pass the problem onto someone else. sorry to say that but honestly.. who says "i'll paypal you 200 if you get people to like your mix better than mine" not a serious mixing engineer.

Then you mix the song the way you want to hear it.. the files are there.. there will be a zillion versions of this song posted here.. no one here is making money so no one needs to jump through hoops over every 1 or 2 different comments (opinions).. And sure enough a mixer will pass it to someone else because there's a million different ways this song can sound.. its up to the artist/producer to pick what they like, no one is going to wait for a mixer to deliver, they go to a person they feel comfortable with.. or else 1 guy would be mixing every record in the world..

Sure enough I would tell the client I refuse to make anything less than my sound and they would have to go somewhere else.. You can kill yourself working for a client looking for a unicorn, thats on you.

Constructive comments here I've found come from the guys who mixes I find are great, and I accept those comments with honor.. the insults come from insecure mixers.. who mixes sound like amateur bedroom demos... likely speaking from a bit of jealousy over my signature... Since you always find issue in my post, from now on you can simply skip my postings.. right?
