Keep on saying thanks for listening and the comments ... Cause I'm knocked out that you lot would spend so much time with it ... I have gone back to basics to try an sort this song out I will post when I think I've got it right.

Maybe it's my ear, but it sounds like there's a lot of compression in here too. Try backing off the limiter on the master out and let some dynamics breathe a little, let those quieter instrumental parts drop back a bit.

THIS TIME No 2
Well I've tried to address what you guys have written and here is my 2nd attemt ... comments please http://spak1.bandcamp.com/track/this-time

Yeah, 100% better Steve! Getting the vocals through clearly now, and they really are nice. I reckon if you went for a crisper snare sound, this would be done and dusted.

Much better mix. Everything is now audible. The reverb on the lead vocal is a little harsh sounding, but if you turn it down a notch it might be okay. I hear that you are using L/R to separate what is many mixes would be F/R. It's an interesting effect...
 
Regards,

Thankyou guys, Been away this w/e attending a funeral (Not good) back in the studio in a couple of days and I'll tighten the snare and bring the reverb down a notch ... I'll post again and hope that it sounds as it should thanks for your time.
 

Last attempt This Time
 

Killer lead vocal. I'd go get the volume automation out and drop the guitar riffing down in volume just a hair when the vocals are doing their thing, particularly at 1:40. When the guitar is sparse and trading with the vocal, it totally works.
 
Great tune and I liked the second mix very much! Prolly if Peter Gabriel was fronting Pink Floyd, that would sell a lot of tickets back in the day.
 
cheers,
