Making another cover; any tuning/mixing tips?

[Cendrillon WIP]

Hi guys.

I've been making a lot of WIPs lately but then I decided to do a full cover with full tuning, and it's a cover of Cendrillon (ha). I'm not really confident with my skills, though, as there are a lot of people who tune better, heh. Plus, I'm just really getting used to tuning, and that's better instead of forever using pre-tuned usts.

Not only with tuning, but with mixing. My covers before have this "the vocal sounds louder than the instrumental" thing and I kinda wanted to change that. I tried balancing the vocals and the instrumental, but it seems that... eh I don't know, the vocal seems louder again.

So I need tips. Anything I could do to make this cover better? Thanks.

For tuning I recomend checking Pitchbending Basics, Kimchi's Tuning Dump, and some minor music theory wouldn't hurt.
Can't help much with mixing, sorry.

omg thank you for recommending my thread ;o;

For mixing, there's a lot of advice here if you're using FL Studio http://utaforum.net/threads/how-can-i-improve-on-my-mixing.14924/page-2

Thank you guys!
I'll check these out soon.

Perhaps I really need to know some more music theory. :P
