I think I agree with previous comments about the strings being too low/far back.......but the issue isn't in the song proper but rather the intro. Having read your earlier comments, I can understand what you're doing and I think it works in the chorus/verse etc. But imo not so well in the intro.
There's a real opportunity to create excitement in that intro, around 18-26s, with the drums building to a crescendo and the strings swelling - but both seem very muted in your mix. Then the lead into the verse from, 26-42s, is another opportunity for the strings to shine. Doing some automation in these two sections could really take your mix to another level and you can drop the strings right back to where you have them for the rest of the song. Its a long intro for a pop song (42 seconds) and can get a bit boring just drum and bass (unless you love D&B of course)
Great mix...could be even better with more work in the intro. Good job.
Cheers
Thanks HbGuitar. I agree with your comments. Long intro... missed opportunities to create excitement. I am looking for those things these days, that mix project got deleted, just the master survived unfortunately. Take care and thank you again.
