Hi all :)

I have been composing at home for about a year and a half, and I have recently realised that my mixing skills need improvement. Here is one of my pieces, before and after I mixed it again.

So far, I've been using more panning, EQ, and the Haas effect to separate the instruments more. Have my changes made it better? What can I do to improve the mix further?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Bruce
 
Have I freaked everyone out? I did warn you that it was polyrhythmic Jazz. In case you're wondering what on earth is going on, some parts are in 4/4, and some are in 5/4, and some alternate between the two, with the bars of each type lining up. I'll post another, more conventional track soon. I'd really appreciate some feedback on the mix though!
 
Here is the original:

And the remixed version:


Comments and/or suggestions?

Thanks,
Bruce
