Actually, I discovered that some of the chords had flat 9ths when I meant to have major 9ths, so thank you for calling that out! I fixed all of those and EQ'd some of the treble off of the voice as well to deconflict it with the lead . I should have another version on here soon. Thanks again for the help.

Slept on the wheel on that part. Just when I thought I did everything perfect too. Oh well.

I like the arrangement of this mix. However, there are some issues with the instrument/drum choices. Let's start with the drums. First off is the initial kick. It is over powering the mix, causing it to stand out. If you only used the softer kick starting at 0:40, that would be much better. Second is the hi hat. I like the panning, but it is too loud, try lowering it just a bit. Now onto the instruments. Alot of the are very soundfonty and midi like. Almost like you played them through a 90s roland midi machine. Very vanilla, ie: they have no fx added to it to make them fuller. With some good FX mixing, you can even make that sax sound good. Everything just sounds like it's being played raw in a sound studio. Lastly, is the how some sections sound very bare. In some areas (mostly the 1:01 to 1:40 mark), it sounds bare. But this may be from synth/fx choices. There just doesn't sound like there is enough going on with that bass and drum beat moving the mix along. I really like the break at 1:46 to 2:04 though. You have a good foundation in the arrangement, but needs some more work. Good start!
