Vision of you

A remix of an old song.  I'm still not that great at mixing.  So I learn from feedback.  Fire away please.

    I'm not sure why you haven't had more response here on this one Sunny. I simply love the song and arrangement!
     
    The violins are a bit artificial sounding, but it didn't break the song.In fact I think the violin really glues it all together.Maybe a plate with a short delay on the violin would add some life to it.

    Beautiful vintage sound. Nice, balanced mix. A bit disturbing artificial violin in its solo moments. IMHO, a bit improper reverb on the vocals. Overall - great!

    Yeah, great vintage sound. :) The choice of verb on the vox makes them sound 'watery' and like they are in danger of drowning. Like the gt work and solo. :)
    Enjoyed this tune very much. Pretty good mix too.

    The only problem I have with the FX on the main vocal is that the vocal is mixed too low and the FX are too loud. Bring the vocal up, and make it a little bigger. Lower the FX so they are more subtle.

    Lovely vocal arrangement. A little hard to hear the lead vocal. You might back off the delay, see if that brings it forward.

    +1 to all of the above.   Good tune with a cool vibe and a nice overall mix.    A little more compression on the lead vocal (CA-2A would be nice for this) and a little less delay might wrap it up.

    Thanks everyone.  I dried out the vocals and added a touch of reverb to the faux strings.  Hope this works better.

    I'm not familiar with this song.  However, the changes you made must have worked because it all sounds good to me.
    Nice one.

    Nice song and performance/arrangement.   Sounds really good.   Reminds me of George Harrison for some reason, I was waiting for a slide guitar at the end;)   Anyway, really enjoyed this post.

    This is a unique and catchy pop tune.  I agree with Mark that it reminds me of George Harrison.  By the time I heard it, some of the kinks may have been ironed out because it sounds like a finished product to me.  Well done!

    All the best,
    Lynn

    Thanks everyone.  I just made one change.  One of the rhythm guitars was clashing with the bass.  Hopefully fixed.  Now its time to move onto the next song!
