Not commenting on the song or lack of musical talent by the musicians, I think the mix is great.

SSD, thanks for your input bro. I am attaching a clip of the intro, verse 1 and chorus 1.

It may be easier to discern any issues with less going on in the mix.

Here's what I know is wrong.

1) Vocal needs to be tweaked a little (melodyned)
2) Drums are too up front (I will bring them back next mix)
3) Horns are too loud (Singer wanted this)
4) Choir in beginning is cheesy and too loud (she wanted this as well)
5) More automation with fader riding on vox and bass. (next mix)

This was solo act that came to me with a casio recording and no band, so some buds of mine laid down the tracks very quick and cheap for her after hearing the song three times through.

So far you guys have ben a huge help, keep it coming!

Thanks again.
