Hi,

I recorded my band's latest song "Desperation." Unfortunately, we have run out of funds and I am left to fend for myself in the mixing department. Can anyone please critique my mix? Try to be as specific as possible if you see a problem. I think it is pretty good. Thanks.

Hi

That's pretty good. The vocals could be compressed a bit to make them sit better on the mix but the rest is fine.

Nice work.

The vocals are too up front for this style!
Where are the vocal harmonies? The harmonies could sweeten this track up so much, it'd make a world of difference if you had a HUGE harmony on the main vocal melody.

Just my opinion!
 
I agree with the vocals sticking out too much and also that they were not compressed enough. I compressed them more and got the sound I was looking for but the problem still exists that they are too up front (I know compression leads to vocals being more upfront and punchy though). I put a nice reverb on the vocals (in a mix not yet uploaded) but it still isn't the perfect reverb. Does anyone have any reverb suggestions?

As far as the harmony parts on the vocals, we really want a raw sound for this song and I think that brings too much "production" to the table. Good idea though.

Thanks,
Ryan
