Hi OTC,

Not bad for a beta mix

Few comments from my side, please regard those as my personal preferences, has nothing to do with your vision to this song:

-In this delicate song, in your mix the guitar partitions are pretty maxed concerning compression on each partition. While electric guitar default lacks dynamics the danger of maxing the compression is that (off course) every single note is as loud as you have decided to adjust in your compressor adjustments.
More is less...
-same thing about the lead vox: deserves more dynamics, while its a very sensitive song, vox dynamics is so important.
-I hardly hear the bck vox please give'm more space.
-Overall the lead vox should deserve the most attention in this song, maybe consider ducking the guitars on vox dynamics?

Thanks an cheers,
Luc

Hey man, pretty good beta mix. It sounds like you need to sort out your kick/bass relationship a little bit. I sidechained the bass being keyed from the kick. It creates some definition. Just spend a little bit more time on it, and clean up the bass a tad. You might also want to run a low end monoizer to help keep the sides a little more defined.

Nice swing!
