This time I got to finishing the remix. I scooped out the low mids from the ac gtr. , which made a lot of difference. then I had to lower the highs too. Further I processed the staccato strings and the ukeleles to sit more prominent in the mix. Then I cut some low mid out of the piano and added some presence to the toms. To make sure the lead stayed on top I applied volume automation to it.
What do you think?

Jesai 5 - HOME rev 001

I, on the advice of friends, brought editing to the original version.
1 reduction of the reverb on the ac guitar (but the strangeness of the reverb is left)))
2 added ukulele brightness (for more successful competition with acc guitar)
3 weakened transients in ac guitars and ukuleles
4 corrected the overall frequency balance (in the direction of smile)

Here's the revision.
I did what Jesai ask.
Lower a little bit the guita intro and the piano first part. Also i have deleted the pan automation i did on piano and set it fixed a little to the right.
Also checked the phase issue Jesai told is happening on the final.
But to be honest this phase issue were identified only with a phasescope (i think we should take care to not mix with our eyes) to my ears was good and closing it a little bit made the phasecope behave itself but actually does not changed the sound that much. Maybe could help with mono compatibily but again i have to be honest, dont think we should take that much care with mono compatibilty nowadays. hehehe Maybe some phone or jbl boombox listeners are gonna miss something but i think is kind of pointless spend time on it :P

Hey Aart, good job! I like the new version probably just a touch of transients on the drum to make them more upfront but it's a taste thing ;P

Hey Ziggy, nice mix! The bass could be lowered just a tad make the whole mix lighter and brighter, the toms at the end could a little bit louder ;P

Hey João, nice one! The bass could be controlled further same for the toms, I like the reverb on the strings at the end but probably it's a bit too present ;P
