Mix wise your voice isn't in the same room as the band - if you exported RealTracks with the BAIB EQ & Reverb intact that would explain the separate rooms - this isn't as evident when the harmonies are happening. There're some heavy duty sibilant things happening throughout possibly accentuate by the vocal treatment. Really nice melody and harmonies are a treat as well. Last edited by rayc; 03/03/20 04:37 PM.

I never looked into exporting a ‘dry’ version. Quote: There're some heavy duty sibilant things happening throughout possibly accentuate by the vocal treatment. I do have a plugin I could try and see if it makes a difference. Thanks for the listen and feedback, Ray

I agree with Ray on one point in particular. If you either add a little reverb to your vocal, or take some off the b/g tracks, I think the blend would be just a bit more dynamic. The vocal harmonies were excellent ... very nicely done! And the backing tracks were real good choices. Wishing you the best ...

I hear a lot of songs that just sort of drift along but you've really nailed this and taken some risks and it has paid off. The vocal harmonies are excellent - like butter. You kept me guessing with where you were going next and I was pleasantly surprised when things took a tonal left turn. What I hear in your music is an excellent tonic and harmonic sense. I don't know if you have studied music theory (I'm just starting), but it sounds like you are applying a number of techniques that work well in that arena.

This sounds great to me. My momma didn't raise a fool.
