Am I doing anything monstrously wrong here?

I don't really know any other mixers, so I haven't gotten much feedback on my stuff. Let me know if you hear anything that makes the song unlistenable to you.

I listened to Problem Child, sound really good to me. I would work on the vocals a bit, but that is more of a production opinion than a mix. Actually sounds good.

Thanks! What would you do with the vocals?

I thought this was going to be a cover of AC/DC's "Problem Child"! Suckered me in.

I'm listening through shit speakers attached to my laptop (not monitors- these speakers are the kind you can get for $30 a pair or so), so maybe the problem is on my end, but there's a steady hiss from :29 until the 1:12 mark for me.

Never mind, I can tell now this is one of those effects that... I don't know what it's called, but I know that this is the way you mean it to be.

Nothing was unlistenable.

If you regard the vocals as just another source of sound, then nothing.

If you want the lyrics to be understood then you need to ease off the effects so that you can get some clarity.

ease off the effects

I agree with this. This would make it more listenable.

Listening to "Problem Child". Cool tune.

I don't hear any major problems except overall it seems a bit mono-ish to me. Don't be afraid of those side channels and spreading delays/verbs. Other than that, nice job.

I'm going for foggy, somewhat elusive vocals, but I might turn a few knobs down a bit. Don't wanna overdo it.

anybody wanna give the second song a listen and give me some notes on that one? Its an older mix and probably more problematic. I'd love to listen to something you've mixed in return
