This mix is top notch Lynn. The production is excellent. I know it can be tough to go back to a mix over and over again, but you hung with it and made this a real gem.

Hi Lynn, excellent remix, distortion is where it should be, on the guitars.; ) Well done !

Tim and Rik, thank you so much for your time.  I continue to learn much about mixing, and this song continues my education, which wouldn't be possible without your help.

COOL TUNE, good ideas with the vid as well......
sounds like this tune could have been influenced by a combo of king crimson and captain beyond
 
mix items:
make the congas brighter....
vox are a slight bit muddy...
and possibly a bit too aggressive with the compression settings on the vox, too fast of an attack?
 
production items:
at the end of the song: i like the double stop ending, but i'd really like to hear that noise that's in the background, leading up to the end, continue past the music.....
or, some kind of ambient sound that lingers for about 6 seconds past the last downbeat.
the song feels like it wants to continue (the round robin thing) and that bit of added noise would allow the brain to continue it even as it has already stopped.
 
nice project!

Yep ,you fixed it. Sounds good to my ears. Seems more dynamic and everything is sitting in its space, I even hear the bottom end better now. I think you got her nailed down..

Bat, oh, I wish you had been with me 24 hours ago!  I like your ideas, so I will file them away for later.  Thanks for your time and input.
 
Monty, thanks for taking the time to listen, yet, again.  It sounds better to me, also.

Agreed. Much better. I'd be curious what would happen if you created a narrow dip at around 2450mhz on the different sounds. It may depend on the key though. It may be that my setup here in my mixing area tells me to do that. I don't think so though. I don't have the greatest mixing area but my curve on ARC2 isn't that different from the correction.

Whoa..Shawn.  Where'd you get that VU meter?  Awesome!
 
Lynn, I loved the song and the video.  Even tho I'm rather frustrated myself with the state of our planet.  I also agree the bongo is a nice touch.  In addition, I think the low end gets lost in the tiny speakers on most people's computers upon playback...in my experience. 
 
Lastly, thanks for sharing the Video Blocks source for copyright-free footage.  I've used archive.org the same way, and have even shared a few things I've actually seen used tastefully.  Maybe there's hope for the world, after all....
 
Keep Up the Great Work!
