open to tips on
mixing/mastering).
Congrats!
After a very quick listen i'd suggest mixing the
instrument volumes lower so they and the drums are
more a part of eachother and then raise the main/lead
vocals up so we don't have to struggle to hear the
words.
The vocal echos are creating a swampy effect which
isn't always bad but in your song I'd probably keep
those tracks mixed down in volume and use them to
support a vocal that easier to hear.
yeah, i got a bit carried away ... which is my general tendency.
If you cut down
on the repeats and write parts that are halftime to
the echo that would clear things up considerably. I'm
probably not expressing my thoughts very well but
maybe you can get some idea from them.
or at least cut back on the feedback ... actually, apart from a few
minor parts in the song, there's no need for the echo at all. i think
losing that, as well as pushing the instruments back and into each other
should clear things up a bunch.
Nice song, glad you're having success with linux
audio.
thanx heaps ... appreciate the comments :)
