    Nice tune Kakku. Everything sounds good except maybe a little too much reverb on the drums?

    Thank you Daryl. Problem is I have no separate buses so all Instruments get the same reverb. I will try to fix that.

    If your computer can handle it, how about some different reverbs inserted on different channels?
     
    pleasant tune, it lowered my blood pressure.
     
    thanks!

    Very nice piece... I found it quite relaxing to listen to.  If I might offer one minor crit it would be to lower the drum kit just a bit.

    Thank you Tom. I must admit I haven't used that channel thing you said. I will see what I can do to a bit improve things.

    Thank you Phil. I will try to remix a bit.

    Sounds nice, Antti!  It's got your signature "feel", perhaps a bit more mellow than others but still there. 
     
    I'd try creating a bus just for reverb and use Sends from each track to vary how much reverb each track gets.  That's a fairly simple way to get everything in the same space but not on top of each other.   And if you wanted to go a few steps further you could use a few different reverbs on multiple busses, add an EQ after the reverb on each bus to "mold" them as a cohesive unit, and then vary the sends from each track to one or more of those EQ'd reverbs.   The possibilities are almost endless...

    Thank you Steve. I might try your tips. I must admit that I nowadays use the easiest way to mixing and try to concentrate just on doing nice melodies.
