Without listening again right now, from my recollection it could use a vocal starting somewhere after the first 0:40 to 1:00.

Slightly unrelated, but... I follow Avid on LinkedIn and this popped up today:

I feel like you could up the bass 1db overall, and snare could have a bit more "bite". Full percussion section could work too to match the number of guitars I think I hear (?). Altogether a really nice composition, a vocal would be ideal on there.

Welcome @DannyMcO! You'll find plenty of advice -- and perhaps a bit of humor sprinkled here and there -- on this forum. Looking forward to discussing!

Nice stuff @David Pinnegar!

"Pieces" -- like, mixed and mastered finished product songs? or individual stems? Yes, please post screen shots! Also, it might be helpful to know what genre we're dealing with?

My current one is M1 MAX, I haven't tried M2 but I know M3 is trippy, hence why I figured M2 is best. But I'm very happy with my M1 :) Edit: use Ventura for OS, it's very reliable, better than Sonoma up till now.

I don't have Pro Tools, but I can confirm that, if this is going to be a mainly music-only computer, overall the M3 is not worth the money. I'd get an M2 with a level or two of RAM upgrade (and maybe storage, depending on your music production style). Hope this helps!

OK, I think this calls for a compromise -- I was comparing the two latest versions. While the first had vox a bit too forward, the second had them a bit "covered". So I re-automated all the vocals and the end result is now in between those two versions. Just proving, once again, that a mix is...

OK, the difference is quite minor anyway. I'll go with that one then. Did you find it to be an improvement to the one prior to that?

@DM60 Lowered all of the strings a bit and a couple sections of the vox.

Always a good thing haha!

Final mix (I believe)! Played with levels, vox tone, and mouth noise a bit -- minor adjustments. I'm posting this on my YT, so if anyone wants a link to the video hit me up on PM! Thanks again, all, for your help!

Do you really hear jingle bells there? That's a bit of a stretch? It's clearly tambourine -- though... see above conversation?

Yeah, that's right. I recently got a new one myself which fit the sound I tend to like from a tambourine. I think -- as far as tambourines go -- if it's the sound you like, it's good enough.

I like a less "precise" tambourine sound, maybe a tambourine with more jangles on it? For lack of vocabulary, think of closer to white noise than sleigh bells? But again, it isn't a problem at all for this song. Good stuff, I want to hear more :)

I don't have experience with 5.1, so I can't help there -- but welcome, and as a (budding) video editor, your DaVinci setup is ???

Tambourine. On second listen it fits in OK in the mix, I think it's just not quite the sound I'd personally go for with a tambourine. Anyway, it works, so don't worry about it :thumbs up:

Overall sound/vibe is sooo good! One of the percussion elements sounds maybe a bit too prominently "jangly"? Otherwise sounds great!

This mix is IMO infinitely better than the last, let me know where you'd go from here!
