As a whole it sounds clean and pleasing to the ears. I wanted more punch out of the drums though. The vocals sound great but they sound separated from the track, I would like the vocal to "sit" more in the mix and have the other instruments surround it spatially.
Mix feedback wanted - Please critique!
Seeking honest and constructive feedback on this traditional country mix...any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
I downloaded these stems from the "Mixing Secrets" Free Multitrack Download Library (https://www.cambridge-mt.com/ms/mtk/) as an educational practice session.
Thank you!

Sounds good, but I would've used more compression on the bass, and especially the drums. The Nashville sound is all about compression. The mix needs some "glue". Maybe some 4:1 compression on the 2-buss. The individual tracks seem "obvious". A great tip I was given by world-class engineer Mike Tarsia when he was teaching me is, "Everything should sit between the kick drum and the lead vocal." Hope that helps.
