Nice job on this. Getting the lead and backing music correctly balanced is something I struggle with on every mix -- but, I've also learned it is subjective to the listener as I have made the lead up front and center intentionally before because that is the way I heard the song in my head... I'm only wrong if the mix becomes a distraction to everyone who listens, which sometimes it does. Therefore, the sum of all the comments you get will ultimately give you the answer if your mix works or not.

I agree with Guitarhacker that to my ears, if I were to alter anything about this, it would be to bring down the sax just a bit and I would place a reverb across the entire mix to create a feel of space for the entire song.

Well, I have just deleted several long paragraphs of unsolicited advice and will condense my comments to say that I assume this is your completed work and I think you did a very commendable job.

Enjoyed this as well as "Believe". I think you have a good album to present to your fans.
