Okay, I've listened and here's my critique--
1. I agree that it's about .1 second fast. It actually may be that it's that way in Audacity too, but you didn't hear it while you were mixing it. That happens to me a lot--it's amazing what you can hear when you're not staring at it anymore and just straight listening. When I think I'm done mixing, before I export the whole file I close my eyes, turn away from the computer, and play through it. It's weird what imperfections you can hear when you're not concentrating on looking at it!
2. I don't agree with Ney on the volumes. Actually, I believe much of this needs to be quieter--not TOO much quieter, but you're a little bit too far over your instrumental.
3. However, I do agree harmonies should be louder. Do not mix them equal with the melody, that's always a mistake, but do make them a little louder so that we can hear them better since these particular harmonies are meant to be heard.
4. As for specific volume issues on solos:
-- All the solos in the first verse need to be a tiny bit quieter. Maybe just -1.0.
-- Solo 1 in the first chorus needs to be louder +2.0? Solo 2 needs to be louder +1.5 approximately.
-- Solo 1 in the second verse needs to be louder +1.5. Kary's solo is a perfect volume.
-- Solo 1 in the second chorus is perfect. My solo is also perfect.
-- Kira's solo is perfect.
-- Kary's solo in the third chorus needs to be +1.0. Kira's maybe +0.5
I hope this helps!
P.S. Your mixing is getting SO much better, this is 10x better than Only Today was! :3
