Thank you for the comments!First a quick comparison between the two mixes. Second mix is a fairly big improvement. Vox in the first mix, as mentioned, are quite wooly. Real piano in the second mix sounds nice.
On the second mix...
The vocals are a little brassy in spots. Just a bit harsh on certain words. Maybe a multiband comp in the 2K-3K range to tame it? Lot's of mouth clicks. Maybe drink some water beforehand? Some pitchiness in a few spots. Pitch correction could handle it, I think.
Little pop around 1:30. Another at 2:19. I don't think those are mouth clicks. But I could be wrong.
Strings are nice. Maybe pan them slightly? Not a lot. At least when they're in harmony. But the mix is narrow with them down the center.
A pretty song and nice arrangement. Heartfelt vocals and playing.
The vocal sound in mix no. 2 is clearer, with fewer mouth noises, but that's possibly the only thing I like better about that vox track. The original track was definitely better for pitch. I'll try the multiband for sure. As for mouth clicking, it's a huge problem and I've tried everything under the moon for that. This particular take was done after swishing with olive oil.
The strings are panned slightly, I'll look over that again. Thanks!
