Hello wobblygstring/Chris,
Please supply a little more info such as the BIAB elements used, who you collaborated with and what "mastering by Bandlab". Oh, and did you mix the track? It's hard to tell with all that Banlab stuff being mentioned.
Lyrics'd be nice too.
I had a quick listen to the 1st track...and the vocals seem drenched in reverb or in another room and leaning slightly off centre.
I look forward to listening in more detail when I know what I'm listening to etc.
Cheers
rayc

Hello rayc
Please see brackets for answers. I took the liberty to quote your questions to remember the order. So here goes:
Please supply a little more info such as the BIAB elements used, (Folk style midi 120bpm) who you collaborated with (Bevan Timm on Vocals South Africa and Claudio Mendez on Lead guitar) and what "mastering by Bandlab". (Bandlab, available app on Android, IOS and Windows, download via playstore. Online mastering tool with upload of song) Oh, and did you mix the track? (Yes I did, Learning to mix) It's hard to tell with all that Banlab stuff being mentioned.
Lyrics'd be nice too.
(Buskers Anthem
He set him up on a busy corner street
Enticed his hopes with notes so sweet
With sound he gave the morning a nod anna greet
To them deaf ones walking by oh so discreet
This is a song of where I belong
To play and entertain with live song
Cause its on the sidewalk where I belong
Singing popular covers with his heart
Even if some chords and notes ain’t that smart
Hoping for a fixed gig and a paying start
Grateful for ten cents in a can is a start
This is a song of where I belong
To play and entertain with live song
Cause its on the sidewalk where I belong
And sitting at home with a cup of tea
Knowing that again he will play for free
On a sidewalk or under a wintery tree
Always hoping for more than a freebee
This is a song of where I belong
To play and entertain with live song
Cause its on this sidewalk where I belong
Singing tunes from his doubts little cracks
Hating back tracks and wrapper monotone acts
Bearing his soul and hoping they’ll react
But living his dream living his faith as a fact)
I had a quick listen to the 1st track...and the vocals seem drenched in reverb or in another room and leaning slightly off centre. (used too much Stereo panning)
I look forward to listening in more detail when I know what I'm listening to etc.

Hi rayc
Thanks for the questions
I played the rhythm, the track was sent to musician friends in the Johannesburg area and I requested them to go bush on the track and do their interpretations. In doing so I set a trap for myself, with limited mixing experience

Hi Chris,
I'm listening to "Muscle Cars and Sleazy Bars" at the moment...
I totally love the ambience that you've created with this musical production. Bevan's vocals are stunning -- very confident and easy on the ears. Claudio's and your guitar work comes across really well, too. You certainly seem to be getting the hang of mixing! All in all, this sparkles with competence from all involved.
I don't have time at the moment to listen to your other song. I'll come back to that a little later.
All the best,
Noel
