On my monitors your song does sound a little on the muddy dark side.



Exactly what I want to address.

All final mixing is being done in Reaper (initial arrangement in BIAB then D&D to Reaper. I have more tools than I know how to use. Moniotrs are Active - Near Field Samson Resolv 50a.

I use Melodyne to help with pitch - but unfortuately I sang these vocals with the VLT with a Double Effect which know I think was a mistake has it adds a heavy layer to the vocals. Only way to fix that is to resing.

I have Ozone Isotope as my final mastering plugin - but I am a little lost on optimizing the configurations. And in the individaul track mixing I do tend to use volume controls when I should be using EQ's - I will try to work on that.
