I would like to present another version of song Children of No One
The synth sounds deeper at the beginning, kick drum might be too low and a bit too loud on 30-40 Hz (could not eq properly, otherwise it washes out).
Vocals are wider, only thing is, the Audacity reverb sounds like in a bathroom
I'm more experienced with live stage sound recording directly to stereo from mixer. This is my third track mixed using Audacity.
Looks like only part of the song is uploaded on this site.

Vocals might be too quiet actually (wanted them to be softer or blended with everything else anyway) , it may be because I mixed only on headphones (Sennheiser HD415).
And of course there is awful sounding click sound of kick drum which translates somehow especially bad on some crappy computer speakers (on headphones in sounds better), never tried to listen at least on some normal ''HiFi'' speakers yet.


I think the loud snare drum fundamental frequency (200 Hz) fits this song, I like when it resonates in the chest.
cool trick you could try on your vocals, add a little distortion to the vocals you have now take out just a little of the high ends with a shelf eq to taste. lower the volume, the width sounds good, then duplicate the original lead vocal,treat it with some normal eq and compression to taste and keep it dead center, and keep that track as the loud vocal track, buss both to a stereo track @ -100 and 100 and add a little more compression. itll sound centered and more pronounced, and still keep the width. yeah, your snares awesome. computer speakers suck, nothing wrong with them sennheiser headphones. just my opinion, thats what i mix with. but im no expert so take it with a grain of salt. and i really appreciate your input on my mix, other peoples ears have helped me out a lot.
