Originally posted by GuitarPLayer61990 It's a pretty cool song, but in general, the whole thing came off as kind of brittle and harsh; there was no real "warmth" I guess, I know that terms becoming such a cliche, but it holds true for this.

Thank you for your review, i see your points of view and i agree with them. Now about your good job, i wouldn't do it better myself and here's my findings: I do like the acoustic guitar sound. I think it's probably the best sonic element in the mixing domain. I also think you could compress the bass a bit more and make it more proeminent. You need to provide a more solid base to it. One thing that i'd try is to lower the acoustic guitar and bring the piano and bass forward. Although the acoustic guitar sounds nice, it's line is almost the same. On the other hand, the piano and the bass are more dynamic, with more tune that can keep the listener occupied "decoding" them. I mean that the piano and the bass have "more to see" than the acoustic guitar, so they should be more upfront. My next observation isn't about the mix itself and is way subjective. It has to do with the singer style/technique. Although he is singing timmingly and tuned, it sounds a bit nasal and there is something in his style that is a bit weird to me, i can't really explain for sure but it seems like it needs just a bit more affirmation, intention, expressivity or something like that. The nasal like sound could be improved in the mix but not enough. It's seems really problem at the source. With a slightly better performance could get you a perfect song, gear and experience-wise. Congratulations for your mixing and your music. Note: i heard through earphones several times through 3 days. Cheers, Evandro
