a rough mix of a song im working on. any mixing tips would be appreciated:
 
I like the song and your lyrics. I also felt your vocal sat pretty good in the mix, and it sounded suitably creepy without being garbled (kind of like Ozzy).

The snare sounded very trebly to my ears. In fact, I couldn't detect much bottom end at all in the song. Not sure if this is intentional given that it is a song about a mental ward, but I think it needs to be eq'd differently.

yea definetely not intentional im trying to tweak the bass.
 
Cool tune. I like the sparse instrumentation and the various sound effects. I actually think the vocals could sit a bit better. I like the way you do the line 'I hate my therapist.....', maybe give a couple of other lines the same treatment?
 
To me, the snare is definitely too loud and the vocals are too quiet. That was the first impression, though - after a while it was alright :)

I heard some clicks in the part starting in 02.08. Enable the zero crossing point tool when repeating the same pieces :) The same is 04.45
 
WAT TOO LOUD.
The rap metre isn't too good - it's closer to nursery rhyme.
The changes between notes in the vocal sample are a bit abrupt - maybe a little delay or EQ would smooth them a little.
It sounds better when the rap isn't happening - sorry.
All in all it sounds like it would provide the links between early Alice Cooper or Thriller era Whacko!
 
as promised...i'm returning some feedback. I'm digging the beat, it's really got my interest. The vocals can be a bit louder...try adding some reverb or some really subtle delay to help bring it out. I like the bridge where you saturate it with reverb, you should do that on the rest of the vocal but not to that degree. On another note, I think the vocal line could benefit from a tighter rhythm. way creepy!! got my emotions going! holy sh**.
