Amy Helm - Rescue Me (Psyncopate Mix)

[Psyncopate]

Great song and band!

I'm practicing 3 hour mixing.

Constructive Mix comments always welcome! Thanks for listening.

Sorry, this sounds pretty bad to me. The vocals sound unnatural from too much high frequency boost and maybe distortion or limiting. The stereo image is really weird. The vocals are placed slightly to the left. The drums sound like they disappear into a tunnel in the right channel.

I would recommend making a mix using only balancing and panning and saving it as a reference track. Then you can compare it to the mix later on to make sure you are actually improving the sound. Just make sure to loudness match them. It's so easy to lose perspective. This trick really helped me get better mixes.
