Dammit. Why can't I find a singer like this? You don't happen to live in Sacramento do you? :ROFLMAO:

I assume by "panning" OP means a significant amount of automation.

I sense shenanagins. If OP has a 15k budget for mixing, why is he on HR casting about for an engineer?

Foam bad

The speakers matter a lot. It's where the sound comes out.

I would use a 57 right up on one speaker (typically I would remove the grill if possible to get on the speaker) about an inch away from the outer edge. Then maybe a MD-421 or other brighter SDD on the other speaker close to the center. The first will be a darker sound, the second brighter. I...

Vocals are hard. I'm definitely not telling you you make "amateur music." I'm saying your vocal delivery pegs you as an amateur vocalist, which is where everybody starts. By "over the bar" I mean to say vocal phrases can be stretched out or shortened so that they don't always begin or end on...

Cool song. It is genre-appropriate. Nicely done.

I think the vocal needs a lot of work. Not so much the notes, but the delivery. You're hitting the syllables dead on and it sounds amateurish. It's okay to sing over the bar, and it's okay to let some notes ring out even if it means leaving out some syllables. Otherwise it sounds plodding and...

It sounds great. Excellent vocal.

Cool song. I think the drums do not sound great, especially the ride cymbal.

I like the song. I agree with packrobottom - the apreggio keyboards should come out during the verses. At least the first half of each. Maybe replace them with some other 16th note percussion if the song loses energy. You could also use a filter so that they settle down a bit. It's an...

There's a lot of compression on the opening guitar, and it's noticeable. Overall the mix sounds very forward.

The string pad or whatever is mucking up the mix because of the reverb on the other tracks. It makes the individual instruments sound indistinct. I am reverb-intolerant though, so grains of salt etc.

I like the song. I don't like the snare during the verses. Maybe cross-stick would sit in the mix a little better. The snare sounds too aggressive for the song, and doesn't really add to the overall impact. Snare sounds good in the choruses.
