Hi. I loved the feel of this track. A few observations rather than criticisms... 1. The acoustic guitar type sound at the far left is way too quiet and is getting lost in the mix. 2. For me personally, the drums were a little bit too fancy so my attention kept getting drawn to what the drummer was doing. 3. Not sure exactly what it was that didn't sound right, but especially in the first verse the high hat sounded like it was out of step with the tamberine If any of a drum or percussion track isn't tight, it tends to make the rest of the mix sound a bit messy. The rythm is the glue that holds the track together. I think if the high hat work wasn't so fancy, the tamberine would slot in much better. Having said all of the above, a great track and a nice recording. Bear in mind, I'm super picky about drum and percussion tracks.

This is the first mix we've done together, and we're both at the point with this mix where we arn't sure what else needs to be done (if anything.) I recorded the bass part for the tune using Sonar/CakeTalking in my homestudio, so hopefully this type of request isn't to far off topic for this list. Any suggestions/observations would be very much appreciated. Here's the link to the tune. "Hold On" Thanks, Steve
