I like the sound - very current, and the short format may work well for film/tv placement. But through my laptop speakers, I completely lost the vocals when the full band came in at 0:35. Couldn't make them out at all.I wish I could offer the perfect solution, but mixing is not my strong point. I think the high frequencies in the drums and guitars are covering up the whispery vocals.I'm experimenting with EQ-ing by taking away frequencies rather than adding them. Each instrument needs its own "space" in the mix and right now they're all just crowding each other out.Here's where someone else with far more experience comes on and politely tells me I'm clueless. Anyone?Kathleen

Yeah, it's a tv/film tune.I did bring down the vocals a bit in middle section. I kinda liked it better that way.Laptop speakers?? Jeez Kelysian! Ok fine, I'll bring them back up a touch

I would also suggest bringing up the vocals a bit in the full band section. Aside from that it sounds pretty good... I'm not so sure about the high pitched backup vocal I hear around the middle... it sounds a bit pitchy in parts... But maybe that's just me, I dunno.What listing are you thinking of submitting this for?

I'm going to use an instrumental mix for the UK Pop/Rock instrumental listing. Not sure yet on the vocal mix.
