I thought this was a really cool little song. It reminded me of the Zombies (especially the vocal), who I like a lot. I really tried not to overdo anything because it already sounded pretty good and I felt like the song needed to breathe.
I did do a little bit of parallel compression on the kick and snare but only put a little in the mix so the drums still sounded pretty roomy. I did some EQing to separate the guitars from the keys and the kick from the bass. I also compressed the bass to clean it up a bit and added a short delay to make it fuller. The biggest problem I had was just the vocal level being kind of in and out so I automated it as best I could and then compressed it. I also added some saturation and some reverb to the vocals.
Overall I'm pretty happy with the way it came out. It was a great song to work with and I feel like I did more to help the vibe than to kill it. I hope y'all enjoy it and I did this for a class project so any and all feedback is more than welcome and greatly appreciated! Peace~
