Hi all, been a while since I've popped in here. Got a new project on the go which I'm kind of struggling with. Mixed the first track, quite an old song, somedays I'm reasonably happy (for someone with limited mixing ability and even more limited vocal ability!!) with it, other days I end up tweaking it as I'm not a fan of how it sounds I have some time away once I'm happy, but each time I listen to it, my opinion changes. I'm probably too close to it so would appreciate some third party input, so fire away...

I was probably listening to a lot of early Radiohead and Hope of the States at the time of writing this..

Not one to comment on vocals because.  Generally the mix sounds OK though it does sound narrow other than the spread of the reverb. The Piano at the end was nice, I would be tempted to try and spread the guitar and the piano either side of the vocal.
 
Thanks for sharing.

I liked it. I could definitely hear the Radiohead in there. 
 
I agree that it could be opened up a bit. I also wanted to hear the whole thing develop more of an edge before it transitioned into the piano ending. Maybe a little guitar crunch as it progresses? And maybe a little more bite to the singing too. But that's just my ear. Great tune.

Thanks for the listen and feedback chaps, much appreciated!!
 
As much as I'd love to improve the vocals, unfortunately, my talents here have been exhausted, I've definitely gotten my monies worth out of Melodyne!! 
 
Taken on board width issues, will revisit that. Think guitar was panned circa 50% L and piano 45% R. I think they were then panned that again in the send to the reverb bus. Probably why reverb sounds wider than the dry. think when I originally started this, must've assumed that the reverb send must've been central so needed panning too. 
 
Again, thanks for the comments, good to know I'm on the right track 

Sorry I think you misunderstood the vocal is fine I do not comment on vocals because Wookiee singing kills at a parsec. so it is not appropriate for me to say a thing.
 

Sounds good.

sweet chord progressions, very original. Not the most uplifting song I've ever heard, but the darkness exists and this song represents. I'd say this one's a keeper.

if you want, PM me and I will mix this for you.

Perfect downbeat song for a rainy Scottish Sunday.

Thanks for the comments people! Yeah, I'm not great at upbeat songs. Have a few more that I'm hoping to have up today/this week, a common theme is that none of them are particularly upbeat

Yeah sure man, always happy to hear other peoples take on music. How the same piece can end up completely different. I'll drop you a PM now.
