Original tune: “It’s OK” (Kinda soft/loud alternative with some rock/emo elements)

[Flyguitarfish]

Here’s a different one for me. Just curious how the mix is coming across. Vocal levels are the hardest for me to judge. I don’t need everything to be intelligible or the focus of every part. I’ll hold off on posting lyrics for now and see what you think. I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

Nice Pop Psychedelic tune.

Nice Pop Psychedelic tune.

Nice…Pop Pschedelic! That’s a new one!
The weirdest part is the lyrics but you probably can’t understand them!

Those lyrics you speak of are completely intelligible in the chorus at 1.20, but are way less clear with the declaiming verse that follows. Part of that is because the vocal's necessarily a bit rushed to get the words out. But bring the vocal in the verse up?

Nice one.

Yah agree here. Nudge them up a bit.
Is anyone getting some beach boys here?

I understand the lyrics fine - but my ears are great - so maybe that’s it.

I thought that was a style choice - pretty neat IMO - but if it’s a mixing mistake..well….

Beach Boys! Lol, nice!

Which section specifically needs vocals boosted a bit? The last section when the distorted rhythm comes in? Thank you!

It’s kind of a style choice…especially when they start repeating I don’t feel like you really need to focus on them anymore. Plus, when I’m layering different vocals with different lyrics I don’t really expect them to be too intelligible, but maybe I could boost just whichever line is newer as they start layering to give the listener a chance to understand something? I could go either way with this.
Thank you!

Yah I posted before papanate. Didn’t even think of style choice, good call. That’s why I’ve been laying back on the comments a bit don’t feel too qualified to step on anyone’s art choices. Don’t mind me.

Well you can say whatever you want! You always have great comments. And there is no right or wrong…just helping each other gain a different perspective and a chance at improving and learning. Always appreciated BTS!
