Passing Ships

[pauli]

First thing I'm hearing is a bit of high end rattling around from the vocal delays... you'll want to low pass that.

Piano sound is warm, round, and I like it a good deal more than mine. Very smooth and fulfills its role in the mix quite well. Cellos sound great alongside the guitar swells.

Are you maybe pushing the vocals a little bit in the high mid? There's a harsh, grainy sound that really seems unnecessary for the vocal to cut through the mix... you're managing the dynamics quite well and that's probably all you need. For me it's going from even in the mix to relentless and somewhat tiring.

The synth pad introduced with the drums is a bit intrusive, especially on the bottom. It was all I could do to resist muting that track altogether... it doesn't serve a musical purpose in my opinion, but it will cohere in your mix a lot better if you ease up on the highs and lows... the lows are overwhelming the kick a little. Guitar 5 sounds a bit thin, but not bad. I'd like a bit more body and less rattle on the drums, personally.

A nice listen, though. Great work with the piano and cello.
