Critique my FTM Homework
Hey all, I've been working on a new song for a new client, I am pretty close to the project since I produced and mixed the track myself. This is my first time producing a Soul/RnB/Pop song for somebody. So it would be good to get some feedback from the outside world. My process: 1. Used Ableton Live to record and mix 2. Recorded the guitar straight out of my Boss Katana amp 3. Recorded the vocals with my Scarlett Focusrite 18i8 using the "Air" setting and my TZ Audio Stellar X2 condenser mic (love that mic so much) 4. Rhodes/keys are a combo of built-in Ableton Rhodes sound and a Rhodes patch from Spectrasonics Omnisphere 5. Since I don't have a bass guitar, the bass is a mix of playing the low E string on my guitar and a free bass plugin called 4Front bass 6. I put one instance of bx_console N on each track for non-linear summing I made my first mix in Ableton without exporting individual tracks into a new session, which you can listen to here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1if4WSJK0OkVXX7dWE17pvtX4e9zLTGKU/view?usp=drive_link Yesterday, I exported all individual tracks into Logic and made this mix: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ur1FxPXl7aD1ZkB9DcoslAzdvGMs4b3w/view?usp=drive_link I wanted to put a bx_masterdesk plugin on the master out because it makes it sound so much better, but for the purposes of this challenge, this is unmastered. Any and all feedback welcome!

@Michael Fogarty Really great suggestions, thank you. This is the critique I was looking for!

@Andy Laird Thanks Andy, loved this detailed feedback. I agree the song has a lot of potential! The artist already has 50k+ monthly streamers on Spotify as an independent artist. Hopefully this track will get her noticed even more than that! Will definitely post an update when I've had time to make more changes.
Gain staging
is it really matter that we need to normalize the gain in every tracks the same -10db or it depends?

Yesterday when I was mixing, I normalized all my tracks, but then noticed that the levels next to the volume faders were sometimes clipping. Don't we want to set the gain on tracks so that the level is approximately at the same level as the position of the fader knob?

The timing on this class is impeccable for me, I’m about to mix and master a song for a new client and want to make sure it’s as good as possible!
