Very interesting.

Dude, you are on a roll. I just noticed you have about 4 or 5 new song postings on the page. That's a lot of songs in a short period of time. LOL.

I haven't listened to any of them yet except this one. Nice mix on this one.

Really nice! The vocals doesn't get through enough i think.
I think the level is ok, it's maybe a frequency battle?
Anyway great work.

Default Great song

Hi,
a few remarks from my side. First of all: great song, voice is good. Most songs here in the Reaper Forum fail in my opinion because of the - hmm how to say, unpleasant voice. But that's not the case here.
Voice is a bit too quiet, could outstand a bit more. Also at some phrases de-essing is needed.
I personally miss some rhythm in the song (I'm a drummer ...). But what I miss more is a bit of movement in the instruments. The Cello sound at the beginning sounds very static. I would have tried some automation in level, panning and also expression. Also for the clarinette (?) starting at about 1m53s.

Dear all,

Thanks for your honest remarks much appreciated, i will see what i can do with it.

I make about 200 plus songs a year and that is indeed often at the expense of the recording quality or elaboration. This is my way of working as a composer. I'll see if I can bring myself to work it out a little better, but thanks again for the feedback, frenq
