neverending mix #2

[hummingbird]

Hi - I just got a custom critique back on my song, "Goodbye My Friend", and one of the things I had asked to be reviewed was the production. They said, "You've done a good of arranging here! For a rough demo, this will work fine. For broadcast quality, you might want to hire an engineer to give the mix more liveliness and clarity and also balance the vocal with the instruments, bringing the instruments up to surround the vocal but making sure they don't get in the way."My aim is to get to broadcast quality without going to someone else. So my question is, what specific things should I do to this mix to make it work more effectively. Panning, EQ, compression... etc? Can you help me understand how to get it to sound right? (Goal is film/tv, classical-pop crossover)(I am aware I need to redo the vocals - allergies, argh!!!)Goodbye My Friendhi-fihttp://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player ... q=lo&ref=2
