Hey Reece, really liked this. Didn't hear the other version the guys were commenting on, but this one sounds pretty good vocally. Your voice has come a long way man. Really good.
Mix is audible. If I had to comment on anything, the instruments seem a little too stripped out to me as far as their actual sound size. Like maybe you ripped too much low end out? Or mastered out too much low mids/mids? Everything just sounds small and bright. If one of my students gave me this, we'd call it a poppy mix and experiment with what types of low mids and mids we could add. It sounds like one of those auto-mastering presets just had its way with the song in my opinion. Most of them strip out mids/low mids, add some low end and some high end presence and they call it a day.
Hats a bit crispy with highs. Bass, I can feel more than hear what it's doing. Would be better with a little more identity in the bass if possible. But everything is audible which to me means "acceptable mix" in reality. Just giving you the specifics because I figured you'd want me to. But I'm really impressed with your voice....and the writing on this song is awesome. Really nice job man! I so miss hanging out on this side of the forum. Going to try and stop around more often at least to listen to guys like you and a few others. :)
