As of late I've got the feeling I'm running circles on the subject of mixing. In order to get to the next step I tried something that jasensmith pointed out in another thread, which is re-creating an original piece of music and trying to get the mix true to the original. Now I'm stuck because I can't tell what's missing or how to accomplish what's missing. My hope being that somebody here could help me out by listening to the two versions of "Koskov Escapes" that I uploaded to my hobby blog for immediate comparison and suggesting how to proceed with it.

I'd be really grateful for any kind of advice. Thanks!
