Hi Duke!
Nice mix! Good to hear that you're venturing into new territory. It's always great to expand your views. That said, here are some friendly pointers
Some good things:
- I really like how present that cowbell/percussion is. It really compliments the track!
- The vocal is processed very well. Natural and clean.
- The guitar and piano sound very good!
- You haven't killed the dynamics in mastering, which is refreshing.
- I like the balance between mvox/bvox.
Some things to improve:
- I think the drums are pretty low and weak. Especially the snare.
- I personally don't think that 1/4th delay in the chorus compliments the track. Maybe lower it?
- The guitar in the beginning has a really noticeable verb. Maybe ride it lower and then raise it when the other instruments come in?
- I think the HF's are a bit recessed. Not necessarily bad, just pointing out.
- I don't like the panning on the acoustic other than in the beginning. I feel it tips the mix a bit to the left.
Other than that I'd recommend looking into different types of compression and utilize it. The compression here isn't bad, but there are improvements to be made. So, what genre are you originally from?
