Good to see you SixString!

Please cut and paste the listing on this thread and include the lyrics.

I look forward to checking out your track!

Your pal,

Fun!!

Spirited vocal! I hear the distortion you mentioned, that and a mix imbalance.
The voc seems awfully hot. The more expert guys will hopefully chime in with more
precise suggestions.

Great work, thus far! I bet the video will be a blast!

Thanks for listening burpo! That's my downfall is I can't hear the issue pointed out, hearing loss from running machinery all my life! I have another track pro studio recorded I'll post soon. Prob run this thru a studio too,this was mixed with my tired ears....thanks again for checking this!

I'm no expert, but some really helpful basics that I'd keep in mind are:

Mix -with plenty of headroom

-at a very low level, bringing up each element until you can just hear it,
then (after a break) tweak the mix at a higher volume, just for sweetening.


HTH
