Cool song, good vocals! Ping pong reverb (I think that's what you'd call it?) is pretty cool but might not hurt to bring it down a bit, it's a little distracting for me.
 
The reverb on the vocals with the rest of the instruments doesn't sit right. I am not an anti-reverb guy, but it doesn't seem to fit the rest of the mix. Nothing else stood out in a negative way.
 
Can you slow the ping pong speed a bit? Might pull it into the groove of the song better...just a guess. Then just run a straight hall reverb from the second verse. Use it for effect and then let the song take over.
Needs a bit of beef on the electric guitars. They sound awfully weak, like they have way too much distortion. The lead tone is decent, though.
Nice vocal. Cool song.
 
Kind of a Pink Floyd sound. But a very quiet mix.

I wasn't a huge fan of the guitar sounds. A little tin-y and brittle.

Good a singer. But I thought the reverb was more a distraction than an enhancement.

Also not a fan of the drum samples and programming.

The guitar that comes in at 2:36 is all fuzz and washed out. I would track it with much less gain. Ditto for the lead guitar.

The fade at the end is a little clumsy.
 
Thanks for the reply, points taken, the verb is a new plugin I have not quite figured out. as to the drums, no samples, its me on an acoustic kit. :D

good point on the verb, as to the guitars, I agree with you on the distortion, the guitar player is a good friend of mine, Im trying to find a way to bring that up. thanks for the listen.

Thanks man, I am still plodding my way through. I am still lost on the new verb plugin, I will try something else. :D
 
the space everything sits in for the first half is awkward - things aren't sitting right together, it's probably the reverb everyone is mentioning. the electric solo is nicely played (reminds me of Old LA Tonight, by Ozzy. almost forgot about that song) but needs to be rerecorded or mixed...it's too bright and lacking any bottom or mids, IMO

when you say the first half are you referring to the vocal? I am going to change the reverb to a different setting, thanks for the listen.:D
 
Promising start, but there are some things to fix. The vocal is too wet for my taste. I'd have it drier and more up front. Timing-wise, the whole arrangement could be tighter. Guitars, bass, drums, aren't locked in as tight as they could be. That distorted guitar that comes in midway through sounds buzzy and lacking in power. If you're doing a power ballad kind of thing, where you start lighter and get heavier, then you need to drop some of the "lighter" elements like the acoustic guitar as the "heavier" ones come in. As it is, the heavy elements seem bolted on, like an afterthought.

thanks for the reply, I think we will retrack the bass and drums. not being a guitar player not sure how to fix the buzz thing. Thanks
