Here is version 1
Spent about 2 hours so far and Needs lot more tweeking and polishing .
I need More Practice In This Genre.
Used My Daughters Pink Cd as a guide .
EDIT- Thanks Shull and Mike for pointing out that my mix sounded weird Re uploaded another version without Nx and correction eq on the Mixdown .
This mix is sounding quite a bit off to me here I'm afraid (surely it isn't just me?). The intro 'bassy' synth sounds strangely hollow (kind of almost out of phase), and I fear the mix is far too midrangy for my tastes. There seems to be a bit too much energy between around say 500 and 4k ish? Also for this track for me surely the snare should sound more 'drum machine' than splashy snap? Curious to know which Pink CD you were referencing? Might be worth referencing some current pop tracks, there's quite a bit of low end in them too these days. Hope this is of some help. Cheers.
Just uploaded a mix/master? Waiting for comments? Why not give back and critique a mix/master, or two!

Hi Mike ,
I mixed this on headphones .
Your ears are fine I just opened the multi track and realized I mixed down with Waves NX with headphone eq correction on the master bus. and uploaded that version without listening back on monitors as it definitely sounds weird.
I used Pinks Greatest Hits Sober as a guide
Version 2 coming soon
Cheers for the Feedback
You know I was a bit hesitant to post. I certainly wasn't expecting that explanation .
I think the new version is still a little mid forward for my taste. Saying that, the snare on the Pink track (youtube) is also sounding a bit mid forward to me too today, so you are likely in the ball park if that track is your reference.
I've been liking the tones of tracks like Selena Gomez - Look At Her Now (I think that is a Manny Marroquin Mix?), especially the low end and mid range. Recent Dua Lipa tracks are really good too.
(This is a difficult mix with a lot of sounds to process, and the vocals and dynamics are quite a challenge. I felt I didn't really come close to the reference mix).
Cheers!

I am Happy you weren't hesitant and did post your honest reply .
I am Finding a suitable reference to suit the recorded multi tracks a challenge.
I did a screen shot of Selena Gomez - Look At Her Now which is the White eq curve , compared to Pink Sober which is the green eq Curve.
Cheers
