I like this, nice sounding mix, clean and present vocal sitting nicely in the mix, good job.  well that is what my furry ears tell me even if David (eph221) apparently borrowed them when I was resting.

YouTube isn't blocked, you weren't able to post a link because you haven't got enough posts yet, that's why I linked it for you.

Aaaah man. That makes sense now. I was in this forum for a long time as greekmac7, but then when I upgraded cakewalk I registered with a different email address and I was never able to sign in to my old profile. Well if this is the case then it's a good incentive to be more active in the forum. Thanks for clearing this up for me and thanks of course for linking.

Your vocal work is impressive.  Very professional sounding.  It captures the emotion in your voice as if you're singing right into the listener's ear.

wow bravo that's really good both the song & the mix!!!

Wow Eduard, this is a very nice recording, performance, and mix. I enjoyed everything......on my headphones. The bass did seem a bit light, but didn't take anything away from the song.
 
Well done mate...really well done!!

Thanks all for your feedback. with regards to the vocals, I used baby bluebottle mic and izotope nectar to shape the sound. I think I read in the forum here about there being a sweet spot at 5k and 10k on equaliser and that Vocals on commercial tracks tend to boost these, so I did the same.

I think I could have spent more time automating to get a more level volume and there are some parts where it feels like the vocals gets a bit hot, and also sometimes words are lost depending on what headphones or speakers it's played through.

Also, next time I will try to stand further away from the mic. Whilst I got a great sound in places by being up close, I think it also resulted in some pops and hisses here and there.

Love the tune. It feels deep and is sung with emotion. I hear heavy influences from some of my favorite artists like Howie Day, Parachute and Cary Brothers. I'd buy this track as is. Let us know if you release it.

You're too kind John. I actually don't know these bands but I will definitely check them out. My favourite band are the counting crows, but I'm not sure it shows in this track.
