Can you guess what I'm using as a shaker?

Hi everyone - I am looking for feedback on this mix before I send it off for mastering.

In exchange for your feedback I will give my feedback on any one of your mixes.

Thanks!

I would suggest panning the different elements out just a little more to open up the mix.

Great singing by the way!

It's a dude going "chicka-cha, chicka-cha".
What do I win?

everythings pretty cool except the horrible talking for over 30 seconds....

 

[toymaker]

thanks everyone.

the shaker comes in later - it's rice in a glass jar.

the talking is spoken word poetry - sorry you didn't enjoy it and thanks for your honest reaction.

I actually did like the poetry in there. I completely understood the vibe you were going for! loved the music!

Hey toymaker, pretty good sound, i like it.
Nice job!

 

[toymaker]

thanks studio hermit - it feels nice to get the encouragement.

ascendrecording - thanks again. that is kind of you to take the time to give your point of view - very affirming for me and helps me gather confidence. i think the spoken word bit will stay.

if anyone in this thread would like feedback on a mix, please send me the link. i am in a little cabin with very good monitor speakers, so in a good position to hear subtleties.

be well everyone.
