Outer Limits

This is a song written for a book and in the book the characters go to another dimension that they call the "outer limits"...I know the vox is in need of some serious work. I haven't tuned anything yet. I am especially interested in any ideas to make the harmonies fuller and more apparent, but any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

Thanks for listening Herb.

Thanks Steve..maybe a job for melodyne? I'm not sure how high I can go on the harmonies. I had another listener mention Styx as well....they were one of my all time favorite bands. 
 
I'll come back when I have more...thanks for listening and the comments.

I like the texture of the keyboard a lot. Sounds kind of like Rush without the guitar. What you're doing with the vocals is really cool too. Definitely interesting...I was listening to see what you would do next. I'm not very good at the mixing thing myself, but it seems like the vocals could fit in to the mix better, like they stick out a bit. 

teego- Thanks for listening! Thanks for the tips.
gtrpastor- Thanks for listening and commenting. The vox are up for definite rework.
Scotty..Thanks! I plan to develop this further.
 
Just to give you some idea of comments I have received on the song.
"the vox parts sound cheesy"
"the drums sound too midi"
"the words are not quite there"
"it needs more bass"
 
You know I have to agree with most of those (excluding the bass comment)...Maybe I can make the vocal parts say something but still retain the effect...and make the vocals sound more pro.
I could replace the drums with better drums.
The words were hastily written and i agree they need to be more refined.
This is the kind of honesty that makes us better! Thanks!

Get rid of the very first vocals so the music brings in the second vocals, which are awesome and the rest of the song sounds great. Love how the synth comes in and the rest of the songs moves along pretty nicely. The vocal harmonies sound pretty good actually and the mix is nice and clear. Nice song!!
 
Peace and Blessings, John

Sounds great to me. Thought the vocals were a little low at the beginning but not the case at all as the song progresses. Enjoyed the listen. 

AT- Thanks for listening. I uploaded a new mix which almost sounds like another song. The rework was involved. Good suggestion on the Melodyne..I made use of it in this new mix. Appreciate the suggestions!
 
John- I followed the vocal suggestions and they have been re worked. Thanks for listening!
 
Gus- Thanks and I'll go to that link.
 
Chas- Thank you sir!
 
Wookie- Thanks for listening. I think I have it pretty close now.

Hi Tim, I like it so far. Good job.

Harmonies changed. Do you think they are the right volume ?

Steve I might need a testicle adjustment to get those notes...or a female singer lol. Thanks for listening to the corrections and commenting.
 
Additional changes made- I worked with the synth attacks/envelopes. Made a clone synth track and treated it with some different things...panned them 30%. Further eq work to the synths. I multi band limited the bass. Worked with the reverb to add some more detail...or to clean it up a bit...I'm probably done with it for the time being.

Keys remind me alot of Keith Emmerson and some ELO! Great song list you got there!
 

Really cool tune, Tim... liked it very much.  Vocals sounded fine.  My only nit is that I would have liked to have heard more of them.  I'm not sure how much of that is volume and how much of it is the vox getting caught up in the 'wash' of the synths.  This aside, the overall tune sounds great.
