Default couple of simple acoustic tracks

Hi,

I picked these 2 songs to mix because of there dynamics and range
im also interested in if im useing too much reverb

https://soundcloud.com/user-203652687/sets/novacane

https://soundcloud.com/user-20365268...ep-haley-james

i expect to do a good job,so im open to critisism

-is the dynamic range good
are the guitar sounds accurate
did i keep the vocal dynamics
did i use too much rev on the vox?

tnx 4 yr input

First link appears dead, but on the second track, I think the reverb is a little heavy. That's absolutely a stylistic choice, so it's just my opinion but I have a less-is-more attitude with reverb. I like it to create space or atmosphere, especially in choruses, but too much and it becomes distracting.

Hard to tell what the guitar sounds like compared to source, but there's not much body/roundness in the mix...very mid-to-high dominant. It's the kind of tone I'd be using if sitting on top of a lower guitar, or a full band..where that lower resonant sound might be too much. That said, I like the jangly nature of it a lot, think it just needs to be a little fuller since you have a female voice that's pretty pronounced up in the higher registers.

The song is solid, and she's got a lovely voice, so you're working with good clay here.

Default i fixed the link]]

anyway its sounds like i put a high tilt eq on the acoustic guitar
its possibly a little bright in spots but theres nothing in the bass to ballence it out

its would be better if the bass notes were more defined but he didnt play them very loud

maybe i should mess around wih it a little more
maybe less 1-5k

version 2 is a lot better
its a really dynamic song though
