It sounds very good to me. The parts are hung in and separated in the mix well. and with good clarity. I like the clean oily bass a lot. The piano was a bit weak to me.
 
i remixed it...i think its a lot better i'll post it up tonite....
 
the newer version is up now

jusum...did you mean the track needs more high end freq?
 
Yeah.

Theres some real nice warmth going on in the vocals, but it needs a bit more on top. I would lose that bongo fill that keeps coming up. It totally kills the song.

Whats your vocal chain?
 
more top on the vox?! i have to humbly disagree any more hi end boost and the sibilance would of been crazy IMNSHO maybe a wiser use of eq...did you listen to the newer version it was posted after you listened to it

vox chain: SM7->RNP->Speck ASC EQ-> RNC-> back to RNP to hard disk...

what feel do the bongos kill in your opinion?
 
The bongo fill gets tired fast. Maybe vary it, make it more dynamic, less aggressive, it sounds like an arranger keyboard fill. Theyre gratuitous. The chorus vocal establishes a feel and groove and the bongos interrupt that. I would also vary that background synth wail sound. The bottom line is though for this kind of stuff is good, varied, changing, dynamic loops make it work. Having 2 basic loops for a chorus and verse dont hold up to repeated listens.
I thought the whole mix could use a bit more in the upper mids and on top, not 6dB or anything but maybe 1.5 to 2dB at 11k, and a bit around 3k depending on where the sibilance is centered. It could just be the mp3 though.

The RNP rocks although this is far from the stereotypical RNP sound. Wise choice on the SM-7 here. Overall the sonics on the vocal are very nice. The biggest hurdle there would be warmth that doesnt sound EQd or overly proximity effectish and you nailed it.
 
I like your attitude in the song. My suggestion ( I am not a pro or anything) would be to change up the beat on some of the verses or maybe on the chorus.

Just curious why the signal is going back to the rnp?
 
because i don't have a 1/4" to XLR y ring to tip connector. I have a lynx2-C and the Analog IO's are all xlr connections...and i do have a 1/4" to XLR connector
