Finlay: 'Same Kind Of Life' kapu mix - kapu - 18-11-2019
song was nice. ^_^

Sounds big. Nothing to complain about from my ears. Maybe the vocal gets pushed out of focus as the song gets bigger in the last chorus. But i'm nit picking.

Awesome mix - I don't feel that the choruses take off enough, the get quite cramped and feel quite squashed. Love the fx and everything else

I think this is a really great start Kapu.
Your only challenge is getting the vocal present, clear, and tonal. Your vocal is actually loud enough, that's not the issue. It's just that there's no real tone to it, which means it sounds shrill and telephone-ish if that makes sense.
One thing that I did that may help (a little secret to my mix) is that I separated the chorus and verse into separate channels, that way you have better control over what the vocal is doing in the verse, and then different processing for the chorus. The reason I did this is because his voice is low and rumbling in the verses and high and loud for the choruses - two completely different vocal styles - so they should be separated and treated differently.
Hope this helps!

To be fair, it's not the 'space' but just the overall tone. It's hard to describe. A mix can sound big totally dry.

Well, for a school laptop and headphones, you did a bloody good job.
