Fytakyte Reference Version from their bandcamp page is labeled as "Life Gets In The Way_Bandcamp.mp3" Added "1Snx" version 5/29/2020 RE: Life Gets In the Way - FytaKyte - 15-07-2019 Hey Newton - I like the instrumental sounds you got, but there are a few issues with the mix... - The "chicken cluck" guitar line that introduces the verse is really loud - it could come down a few dB. - The reverb on the vocal is putting the vocal behind the instruments in the soundstage - try some pre-delay to bring the vocal forward. - I think the mix in general might be a bit over-compressed or limited, as the low end punch from the kick drum seems to have dissipated, and the transients from the drums in general seem to be a bit "blunted". Maybe try slower attack times on your drum compressors to let the transients breathe and punch a bit. Hope that helps! RE: Life Gets In the Way - Roy - 15-07-2019 I'll agree with what FytaKtye said. I rather like the sound of the drums at first, during the intro, but then yeah they get a bit buried. I think you could do some quick tweaks here and there and it'd be a really solid mix.

Ha ha...I was pretty sure that chicken was gonna get reprimanded for clucking too loud. I put a muzzle on him. Couple of other updates on the newer b version. Thanks for giving it a listen. - NT - RE: Life Gets In the Way - FytaKyte - 16-07-2019 Hey Newton, much better! That said, I think the drums could come up a tad in volume. Also the reverb on the vocal is really not to my taste - it reminds me of the kind of reverb you get when you sing in the shower - not that flattering to the vocal! I'd suggest finding a reverb with less in the way of strong ringing resonances. Nice improvement!

The reverb may accentuate that but probably not really its fault. Something I wanted to find time to fix but Lyfe got in the way. |
