New Song. Let me know how the mix is

Hi Everybody,
I just finished this tune.  Please let me know if I screwed up anywhere before I put it out to the public.  As always thank!

Agree with Ed about the banjo or muted strings, may be a bit overbearing in spots. Might try a bit of compression on it.
The drums might have a bit more presence.
Otherwise, I love your vocals, sound REALLY good.
Nice guitar work, too.
I liked it a lot!

Thanks all!  The plucking you're hearing is a Dimension cello synth called full pizzicato and I boosted the mids (800hz) way too much so I will eliminate that and see if that flows better.  I'm just now getting into the synth stuff so I'm really diggin it, maybe too much.  I'll look at the toms as well..

Good song liked it overall but same as above found the strings way to loud and they seemed to drown out the guitar solo.  What I might try is a poly synth, a little sparkle instead of the gloomy Cello to give it a interesting sound scape. I call those things ear candy. Little things in the background that are on your peripheral hearing.  Strings are overdone on too many songs for my likes. 
Other comment is there's something that occasionally seems out of time. Like a random kick or snare roll? Something is not grooving with the song.  Just a few spots. example going into chorus 1;16

Tom,
 
Very nice song! I think you mostly pulled off what you were striving for. Mix could be a little better, but it isn't far off. As Ed suggested, more bass would help round the bottom out. The acoustic guitars sound just a tad brittle. Might be EQ, might be how they were recorded. The pizzicato cellos sound nothing like cellos, but I can hear where you were headed. Honestly, blend them with the strings and I think they'll sit better.
 
Regards,
Dan

Well now the bass is to far forward. 
And there is still something in the timing of the instruments I can't put my finger on. It shows now the bass is loud. 
It's like you've quantizied using triplets on some parts and 1/16 on others?? 
Like at 44, the snare hits with a push but the bass is late. Listening a little more I think it is that the bass does not groove with the drums.. Your very close and it's a good song well worth perfecting. 
 
What I'd do is put the Bass and the drum midi tracks side by side in track view. 
Now expand them and zoom in using the Now Time to see what lines up. It might be as simple as just a dozen notes that are out of sync. 
The out of sync timing thing happens all the time for me as a result of quantizing moving a note as I say to the 1/16 line when it belonged in a Triplet placement. 
 

Thanks!  Man.. I've been through the bass drum thing already.  I quantize 1/16.  That might be part of the problem.. I'll check again.  I really like the cellos so that's not something I would change.  I could however try a new synth.
Tom.

I'm listening to the current SoundCloud version
 
Sounding good. Like the vocals. In fact the whole performance sounds good. Nice song
 
 

Tom, this is quite an improvement.  I'm really enjoying this now.  You have a good voice, and it stands out loud and clear.  Good job.

I dig this tune - you got it going on my - great playing - great singing.
