Which of these mastered versions do you prefer?

Vocals too high in the mix? Too low? Not even sure? Snare sounds wonky? And how do I make everything louder than everything else? Step in, step in, for your mix Viagra from people who know the secrets.

2nd listen. Mix Balances nicely all around start to finish. I like it. Sticking it on my phone for future car drives.

3rd listen, My wife says "sounds like Gordon Lightfoot if Gordon Lightfoot was cool " and aslo Ido, the crashes at the very end of the song are still doing that thing i heard last time. Like cutting off instantly like it's gated weird or something ? was that Intentional?
Yep - I did some more edits to the ending when you first mentioned it, but it still gates a bit, I'm going to leave it for now and maybe revisit this down the road. Your wife's comment is a :lollers2: but I am a huge Lightfoot fan since age 9? when I got his first 2 albums for Xmas along with a cheap acoustic.

I guess the vocal in the FINAL above is at the zero mark so I had him do a couple of versions with less lead vocal
Here's the samples (file name indicates the reduction in lead vocal level) I'm leaning toward the -.3 but the -.6 is also ok - my sisters actually preferred the old +1 so it's all over the map who likes what. :coolstorybro:
