Critique My Mix - Live Youtube Mix

Hey guys, I do acoustic cover videos on youtube. I am still trying to perfect a sound with my equipment. Here is an mp3 mix, as well as a Reaper project file if you would like to mess with my setting and effects.

Again, this is done in a single take, so you can hear the acoustic guitar a little on the vocal track. I have to do it this way, it is for live videos!

Are my levels okay? Can you tell if either the guitar or vocals have too much of any frequency range? Is the reverb too much?

MP3 File: http://www.box.net/shared/mbh0rag89r
Reaper Project: http://www.mediafire.com/?vbn35z05vdedjdg

Notes: The rendered version uses a few Waves vst plugins. For the Reaper project file, so that others could view and edit all of the effects, I changed these effects to native Reaper vst effects. There are some impulse files for the reverb that will be in the project folder; let me know if they are not working.

Thanks

I think the the guitar is too low/soft and 2 much re-verb on vocals unless that's what U wanted?:)
 
Hi sumpm1,

The production is crisp, but there are some "plosives" on the vocal that you might want to see if you can treat with some automated EQ. I wouldn't get so fussed as to change the proximity to the mic though, because the sound is good.

Also, I almost didn't listen because I had to download the file rather than stream it. What are people’s opinions on the best sites for putting up mp3’s?
