Sounds great love the layering. Clean and dense, not easy to do ! Great playing. I did use headphones and will check out the post you mention. Talent and skill the only thing sticking out. Congrats on your first sonar song working out well !

Glad you were able to get your new preamp and are happy with it. Always nice when that works out. It sounds good to me. A few times I thought the vocals were a little out of tune when you went down to the lower phrase. I felt the kick was off beat here and there, like not where I expected a kick beat to be, or one lagged where I thought one would be, but maybe that’s intended in this style. Anyways, the mix sounds good, warm vocals and it has a mood so good work !

Yeah its true things sound different played on different things. I just try to be balanced best I can. Car stereo probably the most restrictive to go by. I use Izotope tonal balance control to get a look at how parts are measuring up. Lots of good stuff in this one! The guitar really stands out front and thats intended I'm sure and it deserves it, and it does cover up some of the other stuff a bit. Its not way out of balance to me as I listen, sounds guitar driven and heavy as you describe it. You could reduce the guitars a bit, you could use more eqing or something like Track Spacer to give things more of their own space. Excellent playing ! Enjoyed it

thanks for pointing it out ! I also used CoPilot, maybe before it had morning coffee...

According to ai, these are the products included - ai lied to me, imagine that, see @ZincT post for an accurate list !

It’s been surprising to me how many virtual instruments that begin as a perfect midi note, after rendering if I open them in melodyne the pitch is off and then sounds right if I correct it. I guess I expected midi to virtual instrument would be perfect. Then came melodyne. Yeah you probably hit a sweet spot blending the tracks.

If it blends in and sounds good that’s the main thing. I’m wondering why when you melodyned the vocal/low piano track, assuming that’s what you did, why didn’t you tune the piano when you tuned the vocals?

I like that an aux track can be placed right under the track it’s receiving.

Pleasant instrumental. Relaxing. Maybe just soften the incoming change a little as Nigel said just to make it smoother. Enjoyed it. Pretty sounds.

I think Im hearing a lot of resonances in the guitar only parts. Nice panning setting up the way in. Good guitar stuff. The vocals are pretty wavy so I wasn’t understanding them but they have a vibe. I like the chaotic-ness that comes in. I like the contrasting parts. Definitely has character. Enjoyed it.

I like it, I like your voice. I was going to suggest strings, but then some came in i think. I would add some high strings, add another verse to make it longer if you have more to say. Enjoyed it.

The flute is lovely but a bit ominous too. The harp delicate but with anxiety. It does give a prelude vibe. Interesting. Did you redo it or this is straight from x-1?

Very moody. Emotional with some drive popping in now and then. Rich layering. Intriguing. The mix is a bit mid heavy. Some sparkle and bass emphasis might broaden the atmosphere. Good work !

Enjoyed it. Love the guitar. Good song, lyrics and mood. I think the vocalist has a good voice, but I'm not sure the way it is processed is enhancing it. Not sure what to say about that, just maybe less fx and more natural/dry in there ? I expect there are some good rich intonations in his voice that I would like to hear. I just think his voice could be presented better. Just my 2 cents!

Good job on your version. Its a great song to begin with and you did very well with your version. Enjoyed the read too.
