Time for round two. I have really tired ears at this point so I can really appreciate fresh ears on this song.

I think the Lead VOX needs to be up a Smidge....I am a Country & Christian Artist myself and in BOTH my Genres the message is so important....You are doing CCM here so IMO the message needs to be heard a little teensy bit more....we gottta hear and understand the message without straining to hear........Especially during the verse bring it up so it sits a bit higher in the mix
How about a High Harmony on "I will Run To You" at least at the end.....
Keep doing what you are doing.....

I don't think you need to up the vox but you do need to EQ it somewhat to cut through.
The music behaind your voice - except for thr drums - sounds like a bit of a mush - things need clearer places in the mix.
The guitar lines remind me of Big Country.

I absolutely agree. This song has been a challenge from a mixing standpoint. Many of the instruments lay in the same frequencies. I will play with it a little more and see what I can do.

Thanks Steve for the encouragement. I never really thought of the song as country, but if the shoe fits....
I agree the vocals can be a smidge stronger, but as rayc pointed out, I think there is too much harmonic play which is competing with the vocals. This has been one of the most challenging songs I have worked on and it has been difficult to get to the point where I am happy about it. This community has been a godsend and the advice that has been offered so far has been nothing short of incredible. From where the song began in my first post: https://homerecording.com/bbs/general-discussions/mp3-mixing-clinic/run-you-362830/ to where it is now is night and day, but it still has a ways to go until it is finished. That said, I am a fan of your music and appreciate your input.

Sounds good! The vox do need a bit of a boost. The rhythm guitar that is constant sounds mixed, but the second guitar (lead) sounds like it hasn't been mixed yet. It plays some key parts and needs to play off of the vox a bit as far as tone. I would mix it more with idea of it almost being a second vox in the song as far as eqing. As far as the song itsel, it sounds good. Bigger harmonies on the chorus would be nice. Nice job!

Hi there,
I am a newbie, so no expert critic here, but the vocals seem too wide. I think they should be more central.
Cool mix though otherwise!

Not sure what's going on but your re-mix seems panned mostly left, especially the lead vocals. I can tell your were trying to widen it up from the first mix, so headed in the right direction!

Im no Expert but the thing that first strikes me with this song is there is a lot of hiss on the s's. Near the beginning of the song in particular! I know you don't need a pop shield to get good vocals down but if you didn't use one id track some of the vocals again with one!

Hi, in my opinion the guitar sounds a bit nasal. The voice has to much s's and and is thin for my taste. The overall sound seems treblish. I listened to your last version.
