Hey guys..and girls...comments appreciated.

The controller isn't always tracking my sustains so it seems things are off kilter in small ways and in a few places...when I play a real piano I am known as a little "heavy handed". I can't play the same way with my controller so the velocities seem too much for this and I need to know what you do to get a nice stereo spread. I appreciate a listens and comments. I think I can back off of the velocities, but I'm not sure how to get a wide stereo effect meaning the lower keys are in the left primarily and the upper registers are in the right.

Technical stuff aside, I think this is a good song and the balance between piano and vocal is about right.  It is sung with the right amount of feeling and conveys a sense of sincerity.  Nice one!

Hi Tim, nice song, good vocal performance. I don't like the piano sound, could be a bit mellower imho

The vocal sounds good, I agree that the piano sounds is wrong perhaps there is to much reverb on the whole thing.  It also seems to lack middle bottom weight here.
 
Thanks for sharing 

Nicely played and written.
For my ears, it's got a lot of mids on both the vox and piano and they are competing and that contributes to the mono feel. 
I'd try scooping out the mids on the piano which might bring out the vox better too?

Nice tune and nice performance.
Actually it sounds like there is a pad behind the piano more than a reverb issue.
Break the song back down to the simplest elements and mix it flat with no EQ and no reverb.
When the mono mix sounds good start adding EQ so that everything has some clarity. The mix also needs a little width.
Layer in the pad and reverbs to give everything some space.
One last thing. Vocals almost always sound too quiet in headphones so volume-wise  think you're OK.
With space and more clarity the vocals will be clearer.
 
 

That is a really good song!!  I could easily hear it on the radio.  Very modern sounding.  Have you tried to sell it?  You should.  It's that good.

I agree with some that the keys are a bit, well I don't know, maybe mid heavy?  Not my forte to do the freq crit.  I do think it's a nice song and I like your harmonies.

Wookie- I appreciate the listen! Yes I totally agree it still isn't right. Thanks!
 
MGC59- Yep, I knew this is what I had to do after I listened to that second mix. You hit the nail on the head here.....there were several problems but the main problem was competing synth textures. Everyone is a little different in how they do things. In my case I usually try to hang on too long for fear of throwing out the entire mix I spent hours on. When something isn't working out after some time it's usually best to take it down to the basics and remix it. I am also learning that sometimes I need to spend just a bit more time on a mix before i make it public. I am sure glad we have a good community of people here willing to help someone out!Thanks for listening!
 
Dan- I think you probably had heard the most recent at the time. In that mix I simply changed a piano. In this mix I went back and reworked pretty much everything.Thanks for listening!
 
jude77- Wow...I had never considered doing that, thnaks so much for your comments!
 
John- I replied to your PM. Gotta give you kudos for  effort to help . Noone has ever done that before for me. I appreciate your efforts!! I want to hear what you have done with that mix when I get to a place I can hear it....I removed a lot of the trash that Ozone simply isn't designed to do.. Thanks brother for being so totally helpful.
 
Warren- Thanks for listening! I removed that piano and added another one and i gave it some stereo spread. Hopefully things are better( I believe they are). The changes I made should have made things sit better together in the mix.
 
Herb-Thanks for listening! I can always count on your professional and honest appraisal of music and i trust it.I have made some changes to the midi. I played the part in a little too aggressivly, so I thinned the midi velocities back some and went with a different piano. See if it sounds a little better now.
 
 

I like the song a lot. Good melody, lyrics and overall composition. Good playing too. The reverb is too wet for my taste though.
