Hi all (waving nervously),
I posted this to the LANDR thread in the Sonar Forum yesterday and someone very kindly suggested I try posting it here. It's one of my own songs and the first song I've ever posted here.
Here goes nothing ....

NEW: I changed the mix and master just now (Thursday evening) to reflect the suggestions that have so kindly
been given to me on this thread. I hope it's an improvement. Thanks so much to all who have taken their time to help me :) New Link: https://soundcloud.com/laura-thomson-723335445/mar16-pedal-faster11-to-landr-landr-low 
 
P.S. Now I think I may have turned the guitar down a little too far  - hmmm.
 
 

Very beautiful piece! I love it. I'm not sure I like what LANDR did to it though. The guitar overtakes the vocals a bit. Did you LANDR each track individually, or the final mix? Just curious. I've never used it, though I've looked at it.

Thank you very much  :)
I LandRed the whole mix at once (on the "low" setting), but now I'm thinking of bringing the vocal up a bit in the original mix and LandRing again to see if it improves the outcome.
Thanks again for the kind words,
LJ
 

I'd actually just push the guitar back a bit and leave the vocal the way it is. Otherwise the balance with your other instrumentation will start getting out of whack.
 
Nice "air" on your voice, which is quite nice.
 
Regards,
Dan
 

Thank you for that tip, Dan. I think you are right! Much appreciated :)

Welcome to the songs forum.
 
Nice gentle tune, mix works reasonable here, as noted perhaps back off the guitar a tad, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for you comments, Wookiee. :) I will try backing the guitar off tonight or tomorrow and update.

Lovely guitar work. I'm with them: back the guitar off a little. Terrific change at 2:20 or so.Could the vocal use a treble boost?  That might just be my ears.

+1 to the above - pushing the acoustic back just a little may be all you need.     Though I might also try adding maybe a little reverb/delay on the violin part so it's a little less up-front... more depth. 
 
And speaking of, your voice comes across really well and there's a lot of depth in the recording.  
 
 
PS.... loved the change about half-way thru - good stuff!
 

Great stuff here
LJ ,
There are a lot of things in your song that I am very fond of ...
The first one is while I am listening to your song it actually brings me someplace other than where I am
You know , I'm sitting here in my dining room and once I start listening to your tune I feel as if I'm in another location 
I feel like I can daydream and pretend that I'm in Paris , Italy or any other number of places I've only seen in a travel brochure .
The song itself has a very theatrical quality to it ...my impression is you may have had a background or have listened very deeply to some of the classic music that has come from the theatrical stage / musical genre .
I'm supposed to be some kind of guitar player around here and yet I wish I could get my acoustic guitar to sound even close or half as good to the lovely sound of yours ....
BTW , I agree with others , the acoustic may need to come down in the track to give your voice more clarity in the mix  .
 
Your Voice has a very soothing Angelic quality to it once it draws me in I want to hear more ...
 
This song is very nice Music .
 
Oh before I forget , Welcome to the Song  Forum
 
all the best to you  ,
