    Nice strong vocals, and I'd be tempted to bring them up a bit, on the fader perhaps, from 2:03 to 2:33 (or there abouts).
     
    backing vocals are there, but I almost missed them. Could you perhaps pan them to the side a bit?
     
     
    Having said that, I don't produce anything like this, so you have to take what I'm saying with a pinch of salt...
     
     
    cheers

    Nice song!  
     
    Mix-wise I agree with Andy that the vocals do get a bit lost.   The music is very strong, in particular the organ which sounds great and is almost sorta kinda on the verge of being overpowering (I can't believe I just wrote that ).   Personally I'd want to keep that and try to build everything else around it if possible.

    Everything sounds pretty good in the second mix, but the drums. Kick needs to be a tad tighter and the toms could use some compression. Snare sounds okay, but is a little on the thin side. Not sure if there is much you can do depending on what tracks you have to work with.

    Here's the new mix, I am thinking vocals need to come up a bit, anything else? Thanks!

    Hi Travis - I really like this - great song and I like your style.
    Kick is too loud in the mix

    I think that last mix is an improvement!   The vocals aren't getting quite as lost now and overall it seems to have a little more punch.

    Thanks Steve! The hardest part is saying it's done and releasing it! I kept worrying I'd hear something and regret it but it seems to translate pretty well. First one I've done myself and released. I used Drum replacer to supplement the kick, snare, and toms. Mostly just prochannel modules for mixing, and I am really happy with how it turned out. It'll only get easier. Thank you so much for listening!
