Hi!
Not sure how useful my feedback was actually. Reading it back it seems I forgot to add in a bit of detail!
For me, I feel the vocal is a touch loud in the intro, and the piano seems a bit quiet, against the drums. Verse and first chorus - the vocal feels a bit loud to me against the drums and guitar. etc.
I think I tend to think of the song in sections. I try to mix each section so they are in balance. Then I try and consider how the dynamics should be between each section - e.g. chorus louder than verse, and build up to whichever should be the 'loudest' section.
Well, that's what I attempt to do anyway, not always successfully. Oh, how you set up your session routing, VCA groups etc can help with the automation side of things too, depending on how you work.
Cheers!
