Hi Aaron, that's a nice song. Was it written by you?
 
Well, I'm still learning myself really, but this sounds okay to me.
 
Everything is in the right place and has its own space. Levels good. Nice backing vocals.
 
If I had to be critical... Are the rhythm guitars panned hard L/R? I can never tell. Personally I go for around 80% rather than full L/R. That's just me though.
 
cheers

I do tend to like the guitars panned hard left and hard right, really gives it a much wider sound. I did not write that song, I recorded it for a friend. I wrote the strings and lead guitar parts but thats it. My friend did rhythm guitars and vocals. Thanks for your feedback and kind words!

Nice tune. I like the background vocals. I think you could cut a few db's of that bass around 100 K, and the vocals are sibilant in some spots so I'd compress less and eq off just a bit of the highs on your vocal. The rest seems nice! Your main vocal has an earnest quality that works very well here.
 
Richard Marx's "Right Here Waiting" is an interesting comparison - your song is different enough but if you want to hear how this type of song might be mixed, you might listen to that one for some tips.
 
good effort, welcome to the forum!
 
cheers,
-Tom

The vocal is muddy and sibilant at the same time. Sounds like a better microphone should have been used. The instrumentation and BGV are really well done. I'd say you're off to a really good start.
 
Regards,
Dan
