That is a fun tune. I think is good use some fullness in the low mids like +2db at 250 and maybe +1 at 50.

David, one of the reasons I come to this site is because of songs like this. This is the kind of music that moves me, and you have produced a very professional mix that is fresh sounding, and perfect for the quality of the song. The song has great vocals, an interesting arrangement with a few bits of producer's magic that elevates this. I listened to the second song, too, and I urge those who stop in here to here that, as well. I will be back for more listens, and I wish you well.

Admittedly, this is not my style of music, but that does not get in the way of my appreciation of how phenomenally well done it is. There is so much going on on that track, yet it's all very well balanced and put together. Extremely well done... sounds marketable for sure... for whatever I know

Great mix. The vocals are perfectly balanced, panned and focused, the bass is punchy and nothing drowns anything out.

Hey - Thanks guys! I value your comments above all else because you guys have trained ears unlike most people who hear my songs.
Rimshot: Thanks for listening and for your comment - Would you say it's a mastering tweak?
Lynn: Thank you - I'm really glad you enjoyed it - and very touched by your recommendation. By the way, out of curiosity, which was the second song you heard?
Phil: Thanks for taking the time to listen even if it's not a genre you're in to! And thank you for your comments.
Sharke: Thanks! The bass (as always) was a nightmare to get right. I'm glad it sounded right to you.

WOW! Not my norm listen but the production/performance is SHARP. Really like the play with the panning and effects used on the vox/harmonies. I'm getting a cross of "Foster The People" meets "Owl City" vibe. Catchy hook very radio friendly tune. If I had to nit the mix and this is really picking on you I would like to hear the low end kick have a smidge more thump. EXCELLENT job/performance/production!

David,
Like a few of the other folks, not really my genre, but a very nice track just the same. I did really enjoy the vocals and the fx on them. Very tasteful.

Echo what Shad said. Wish i could get my mixes to sound as good as this. Nothing to criticise from me. Great work all-round.

Kev: Great and flattering comments, thank you. I agree about the kick needing just a touch more thud, but I was already blowing the socks off of the master - I just had no more room and just got to that stage where I didn't dare move anything else for fear of ruining something!
Guitardood: Thanks for your comments and for listening to a genre you're not really in to. You have a cool name by the way!
Foxwolfen: Thanks for listening and commenting - p.s I like your avatar!
Blipp: You wish YOUR mixes sounded as good as this?! I've drawn inspiration from your icy crisp mixes my friend!

VERY nice light song that has really been done in a very professional manner. The vocals are excellent.
Terrific piece of work!
