I write decent songs. (personal opinion)
I record the tracks well. Some of my playing skills lack, and usually those parts get kind of panned and backgrounded. Everything sounds good when I put them all together.
I get great instrumental tracks (personal opinion, again, but I really think I do).
Then I add vocals and EVERYTHING sounds off...and I don't mean because my vocals are lousy (yeah, we've gone over that a few times). I mean the instruments just don't sound good anymore, even when the vocals aren't going...
I don't even know what to ask. I've tried lots of different things, and I just get lost trying to get vocals to sit well in a mix, then the mix doesn't sound like it did as an instrumental. Just got through posting another clinic song. Been looking forward to this song for a long time. Sounded AMAZING to me. Then I add the vocals and start remixing, ducking, compressing and voila!---crap! The new tune sounded alive and fluid, and now with vocals, it's just dark and meh...
Hard to open up like this, but I need to get my mixes better.
Anything? Anybody?
