Wookiee 1,009 Posted March 3 Nice, but if I was mixing this, would just take the vocal back down into the mix just a tad, it is good but the vocal feels/sounds little to forward and detached from the rest of the backing. This is obviously just the furry opinion of a furry alien from a galaxy far far far away. I did enjoy as is though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RexRed 68 Posted March 3 Hey Wookie, I use my big 15 inch Kustom speakers to assess and bring the vocal into the mix and yesterday the transformer/amp circuit board in one of them fried. My studio room was filled with noxious toxic smoke. I just had them on and I was not even driving them with a signal. I am looking into replacing the parts so I had to guess the vocal to mix ratio through my headphones which does not work in my experience. I will revisit the song at some point. Thanks Jack for the compliment, glad you like it! 👍😉 I thought the vocal was a bit hot and up front but it is in the ballpark I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Sprouse 447 Posted March 3 You're stepping out of the country vein here. Nice for a change. I listened on consumer stereo and it sounded really good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RexRed 68 Posted March 4 Wow! Thank you David for testing this out on your speakers, very nice to hear this tune held up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noynekker 169 Posted March 4 RexRed . . . total respect for this one. the vocal talent really shines through on this one, again . . . you keep cranking out such great songs ! Ultimate love song, hope she appreciates it. On my headphones I hear a bit of over sibilance in a few places, but it never sounds too brash, nothing serious, and doesn't take away from the delivery of the song. I only say this to help in your mix . . . because this one really deserves to be "perfect" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RexRed 68 Posted March 4 Thanks for the comment Noynekker, Yes, it is a bit brash in places. I am thinking of adding harmonies and cranking down the vocal volume in a few places to make it fit into the music a bit better. It sort of passes the way it is but could use some very slight tweaks.

Marc Cormier 419 Posted March 6 Every one of your songs I've listened to has been a great experience. You've got a great voice. Doubling the guitar with synths was a super nice touch; I'm not listening with headphones so a bit harder to detect any harshness in higher ranges but even if they're there, it's a fine piece. I was really hoping the synth would help ride the song out and I wasn't disappointed! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RexRed 68 Posted March 6 (edited) Thanks Marc for the compliments on my songs and voice. Glad you like them! Super you like the synth arpeggio riding the song out too! 👍😉✨ Edited March 6 by RexRed 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew Rhodes 12 Posted March 6 Quality! What a voice! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KurtS 112 Posted March 6 Another nice song and very smooth vocals. The sibilance is the only problem I hear, maybe the bass is a little low. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
michaelhanson 60 Posted March 10 Very nice vocal! Just a tad hot for me, it could sit down in the mix just a bit. Also just slightly more reverb than I prefer, but that is a personal preference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lynn Wilson 492 Posted March 15 Superb song, Rex! All I hear is a great voice and haunting melody that stands on its own. One of your great talents is versatility, and it really shows on this tune. I listened to this song 3 times in a row, so I guess I like it as is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
