Just made the drums a little punchier.

I like the way you write. The mix sounds pretty good. On this speaker system.... cheap computer rig... I don't hear much bass and punch but that could be from the speakers.... The bass does sound sort of non-distinct compared to other mixes.

Nice song! I'm hoping that it is Soundcloud's crappy mp3 conversion, but the mix was a little undefined. Everything sounded mashed together and the low end has no energy. I think your bass sounds great, but I'd suggest bringing the kick up to add some beef to the beat. Also, I would suggest spreading your instruments left/right to leave more room in the center for the vocals. All in all, this is a song worth polishing! Regards, Dan

Do you have Ozone? If not, have a look at it. DL the demo and play with it. Ozone can put the sparkle into an average mix.... to take it to the next level. Not cheap, but worth it.

Hi, I agree with Dan that everything seems really bunched in the middle. The song warrants a remix. Try to place your instruments like they were on stage to give us space and width to the sound. Nice vocal. Rimshot

I'm curious what you are hearing that needs to be fixed. I may already have alternate plugs.

Very nice song and instrumentation, but it sounds like everything is sharing the same space with little separation. Also, it is very hard to hear any bass and the mix sounds kind of tinny. All of these things can be fixed if you have all of the original tracks. You just have to take each track and rearrange the panning for each track so that each track is panned in or out to different locations, so when you put it all together and play it you can hear definite separation of each instrument and the vocals should always be up front and the most profound part of the piece (song). Other than that, you have a really good song going here. Peace and blessings, John

I like this song just fine, but as others have pointed out, the panning needs to be adjusted, and the drums and bass need to come up in the mix to give the song the energy it deserves. These aren't major fixes, and the song is good enough that it deserves the extra time and polish. I'll be listening.

All the above advice is very sound, I am listening on in my studio control room on my primary monitors but it sounds like I am listing on a mono radio. Good song and the performance is sound but the mix needs some work. Thanks for sharing.
