Default Something chill, heavy, and large...

I ran out of headroom at the heavy part.

MOD is my solo project. All in Reaper, naturally.

Refreshing! (as much as gothic stuff like this can be :-)

The vocal approach reminds of "69 eyes", but the recording style of the
vocals & the mixing of the vocal tracks is not right there yet.

at 02:10 the vocals are lost, its only the guitars

3:54 the vocals work better here

4:20 although this was not a one-idea song, now this last idea here
is lasting perhaps a bit too long. The total lenght is almost 6 minutes,
in my opinion this would be better one or two minutes shorter...

Not bad at all, especially for a one-man effort!

Thanks for the feedback folks. I think I'm going to try copying it to a new project, zero-out the automation and mix it again starting from the loudest part.

jopatius, this is actually cut down from about 12 minutes! I do hear some more slack, I'll take the razor blade to it in a couple more places.

Okay, arrangement tightened up, headroom problems resolved, and remixed from stems. Better?
