Stay New

I thought it sounded OK.

The lead vocal has a pretty hyped high end. It gets a little harsh. There is quite a bit that I'm having trouble understanding.

The instruments have a slightly fake quality to them, espcially the strings.

I thought they keyboard sound was pretty nice.

Drums sound like a machine, but that's kind of standard for this genre.
 
Yeah, the de-essing technique here, whatever means it's done with, needs some adjusting. That high end of the vocal is close to lisping. It sounds very unnatural and overly processed. Every "s" sound features this.

I thought the guitars sounded pretty good. The toms are really, really lacking any character or attack at all. They are pretty dull/flat. It might be the way they were captured, if they are played live. Snare is rather dull as well/flat as well.

It's a good song, but the mix needs some work.
 
This has a lot of potential. I feel it is over processed, over compressed. vocals do need to be tamed a bit, and more given to the percussion. I played with it for a few minutes.. I think with the individual files you have a really nice piece waiting to come out. Here is what I came out with.. just messing around.View attachment Stay New messed with.mp3
