Mixing critique

[markparr]

Hi,

I have recently knuckled down and started concentrating more on mixing. Would you kindly take a listen to my latest track and feedback on any improvements I can make and also any errors I have made in this mix. Any critique would be most welcome as I am looking to advance my mixing skills. Here's a Soundcloud link to the track. Thank you.

First off, wonderful piece!
Texture and EQ sound really good on my monitors.
One thing bothered me though:
The mix feels Left/Right heavy, I assume you used a stereo widener plugin and set it to nearly Max Seperation.
That causes the middle to be empty...
For example, it would have been nice to have the drone stay thick towards center and the Tandoor/Dulcimer in the center as well.

Just my thoughts
Cheers
Cass

Thanks Cassmcentee for the feedback. Yes, I did put a Stereo Widener on the bass Synth but only by about 35%. I think the main issue that you have raised is due to me widening the Master. Thanks for the advice on that.
