The Good the Bad and the Stupid

What can I do to improve the mix ?? I've tried to make it louder than what I norm do.I've layered the snare which I dont norm do,and I like that a lot :-)) Any ideas for developing the mix ?!!
Cheers
Kev

    This is one of those times I tell people to step back and take a break.  This sounds quite good as it is, and you may not need to do anything to improve this except enjoy it.  Whether it be in film or video, there's a place for this type of music.  I thoroughly liked the arrangement and mix, and your soundscape is terrific.  Bravo.

    All the best,

    Really like this. Nice job. 

     I't has inspired desire in me to attempt a remix (in a different genre) for fun. 

    PM me if this is OK with you. I may need some of the stems.

    D n B, up tempo etc. 

     No sweat. If once you have submitted and are happy for me to do that, let me know. 

    It would be a totally new take on it, just for fun. 

    Peace.

    Hey, this is pretty cool!!  I think you're 99.9% there my friend.  My ears say bring the trumpet up a tad at 0:49 and the strings down a tad around 0:59.  Bingo!  Very cool guitar tone!!!

    Cheers!

    i love this track.  since people are stepping in to offer a remix, maybe you should bundled up the stems and offer them to us to remix.  I think it makes a great track to remix in several genres.  I'll check back just in case you do offer it up

    I agree, the mix sounds good.  

    The only nit I have is that.... yes.... you did get it way loud. It's clean and not distorted and doesn't sound compressed, but the levels are hot. I might would go back and export it again after you turn it down a tad. 
    Overall, this is good... it's creative and unique. Thumbs up.

    Leave it be! Fresh ears are best suited for mixing/mastering, but this is also said when in composition ruts.

    Anyway, I did like the tune.
