Hi Chris,
Glad you enjoyed the Mix Rescue mix/write-up!
I think the vocal tuning is part of the problem for me, but I'd say you've probably got a little too much low mids too -- try shelving off a couple of dB with a 200Hz shelf and see how it balances. A bit more 800kHz might help too, as there's not that much solidity to the midrange once the low mids are out of consideration.
OK.
The mix as a whole feels a bit muffled, which speaks to me of more work needed in the low midrange, particular with high-pass filtering. I think the organ is a big culprit. The snare fills sound very dry -- a bit odd, in terms of blending with the otherwise rather nice and characteristic effects treatments you've used.
Can't tell on my PC speakers, but I suspect your organ may be a bit over-widened in stereo, which may cause you problems with mono fold-down.
Like the way the guitar and piano fit together, though! Thanks for submitting!
