Good mix overall Cata1y2t!
But I think you overdone the pitch correction. Seems you've quantized everything to the nearest note, which was unnecessary IMHO.
The vocal was already pitch corrected but with a lighter touch, leaving some emotion come through. I'm not a great singer but I don't think such a hard tuning is needed either.
Looks like it was automatic as well, if I judged by the "you could SAY she floats around all day..." at 0:53 where the note on "SAY" has been pitched down one half note...

Hello Patrick!
Thanks for the feedback. I do apologize for tuning the vocals. Would it be ok if I pretty much post the same mix just without the tuning of the vocals? I think it would be much better then.

Hey Carl, no need to apologize! I'm not fussy. Wink And I'm not a real singer either, so I don't mind.
It's just that in your case you went too far with it and it's noticeable in a bad way...
For yourself you should learn when to do it and how much of it to use.
When you start losing the performance and introducing artifacts that's when you've gone too far IMHO.
Keep it up! Smile
