When the vocal comes in, drop the tinkly thing a couple dB - it's distracting. This one reminds me of someone I've heard, but I can't remember who, but I know they're damn good. For me, the biggest deal in this mix is that I think whatever you're doing with the vocal isn't the best thing for this mix. I'd turn it up way more. Put more verb on it maybe. The arrangement makes a big sound, but the vocal's got a small feel to it. I know that treatment sort of fits the vibe of the lyric, but I still think this tune would have more power if the vocal were bigger somehow.
I hear ya. I'm not experienced in vocal enhancement techniques. I read a few techniques on SoS that I'm trying out, but nothing is just wowing m yet. I'll keep at it. Thanks!
I kind of take the position that this is the mix you had.....at least the revised one. I have zero suggestions to make on the mix. No buzzing, no noises, good songwriting. There's a sparseness there that you don't usually find in a mix. It's uncluttered, and the song reminds me a bit of the Beatles. Perhaps shorten the song down a bit.
I'm not sure that get what you're saying. Is it that the mix sounds the same as before? Thanks for the listen and comments!
I agree with all that. Definitely has a Beatles vibe to it.
I just realized it's called "Still Me". Until just now, every time I read it I thought it was "Silly Me".I have no idea why, but I might have to use "Silly Me" as a song title now.

Everything seems on point level-wise.. Personally, I'm not wild the kick sound. It's pretty big, loose and woofy and kind of takes over.. kind of Total Eclipse of the Heart-y. It catches me when the backing instruments kick in around 1:20, where it almost sounds like something swells in a hair early. Small nits.. in general it seems pretty well mixed. Nice job.
OK, I'll take a look. I may have a compressor on the kick, can't remember if it was this one. And I hear the early swell at 1:20 as well. I'll fix that up. Thanks!
