Hi everyone, I know its a day too late but I would still like to submit it. Here's my take on "A Sailor Once More". I didnt really know what to do with the bagpipes but I liked the overall energy of the track.

Let me know what you think :)

Hey @Anne Schutte , Great mix. A couple of things stick out for me. The backing vocals aren't jumping out and delivering a lift to the song. The shaker sounds a little harsh which is making it poke out at various times. Smoothing that out will help push it to the back of the mix.

Hey Anne, good work on this one! I feel like the bagpipes should be louder during the interludes, they take over for the lead vocal at this point, it's like they're a hook.

Nice Mix Anne! Very well overall balance. I also think that the bagpipes should be louder. Background vocals sound very nice and in tune. You probably kept the backing vocals behind the lead vocals on purpose. For my taste they could be a bit more to the foreground as well, but as said that's pure taste.

Hi Anne,
I really like it. Enjoyed listening. Maybe some low ends could be more present. It has a tendency for mid and highs, which makes it clear but a little bit thinner, than with more low ends. But as always these are my two cents. Check it for yourself :).
