Hi everyone! I'm brand spanking new and I'm really studying mixing and eq right now. I wrote about 13 new songs and was getting close to sending them off to have them mastered but have slowed down trying to mix and re-mix them better before I do that. I'm curious any opinions on the mix of this track as I'm still learning (this isn't mastered). Thank you!

Also, I'm using Sonar X3 on windows. And there is a mistake at the end where I didn't cut out an old vocal, I just haven't updated it yet.

Mix seems very muddy. Not sure if EQ'ing at this point is the right thing. If you go back and check each track, make sure your guitar is sitting right. Usually on the acoustic, I will cut below 100-200 and focus on the up end. Getting some of that brightness back in will help the song a lot. Once you get the guitar and vocals, then you can start adjusting everything else. (That is how I would approach it).

Go back and look at your vocals again, they are not as clear as they could be as well.

This is a good opportunity to go back to each track, make adjustments there (keeping EQ off on the master) get it to working there, and then your final EQ should be for the whole song.

Good tune, good performance, just some tweaking with the mix.
