First Song Attempt Using Music Creator 6

I think that's an excellent start Janine! You have a good voice, reminiscent of Alison Moyet, you could back off the reverb a bit and let it come through.

Thanks for the feedback.

I like this song very much, as it has an Annie Lennox vibe for me.  I had to turn the volume up quite a bit, so there's room for  improvement in the mastering stage.  I don't mind the reverb so much on vocals, but if it was turned down a little, it might feel more natural.  You have a really good voice, and I hope you won't be a stranger here.

Nice work first time out.

My suggestions. 

Cut back on the reverb as has already been mentioned. Even though you may like it personally, it's about the song.... as  a guitarist I like to hear guitars, but as a producer on my projects I can't do that.... 

Second.... your voice is good, turn it up a bit..... I wanted to hear it better.

to squeeze a bit of volume out of the mix..... insert a plug in to the master bus FX bin.  Right click it (the bin) and select audio FX... look for cakewalk and find the compressor/gate. click to add it, and then select the MIX COMPRESSION preset. It's a good place to start. You will hear an immediate boost to the levels. 

there's a bunch to learn but learn one thing at a time.  for now.... it's a good start.
