is that you on the song, or you just mixed it? any way mix sounds pretty good. i would probably try and tame a little more of the sibilance on the vocal.
Reminds me a little of that Jay Z "Reasonable Doubt" era sound. Its mixed fairly well minus the ess'es but those are an easy fix. The bass could maybe use some more center focus along with maybe a tad more punch on the snare. But the image is fairly wide already with the other frequency elements. It looks like you left plenty of headroom for mastering which is smart. Try a quick master job & post that up to see where the low end goes from there. Maybe a kiss of L2 & a Slammed L2 just to compare. Great chill vibe. Cheers!!!
Did you mix the entire track or just add /mix your vocals on a premixed beat? Sounds good btw. All of the other advice is pretty much the only thing I could think of... except the song seemed kind of short ... and of course this is totally subjective and just my opinion (which doesn't mean shit in this case), but it felt like a nice hook would elevate the tune. Thanks for posting your work!
Yeah I still have to add a hook and 2cond verse aswell and the instrumental was mixed already I just did my vocals witch I have a hard time doing I can't seem to find the sound I really want in my vocals.I'm keep pushing in it untill I'm happy with my eqs because my mind has a sound but my lack of mixing skills can't put it out! That's one of the reasons I start so many projects and never finish them..thanks for your help will do!
you should check out this mixing show on youtube called "Pensado's Place" there's like 50 different episodes you'll learn alot aboout mixing.
duplicate the lead vocal and spread/pan them a lil to the left and a lil to the right and and a high pass on the eq about 100 hz cut and a high shelf and play with that until you get a nice sheen
Duplicating and spreading won't do a thing, since it's the exact same wave-form. If you'd really want to spread vocals (I wouldn't know why, but oh well), then you have to record it twice and then pan left and right. This goes for anything you record with one mic. Duplicating is not going to make it stereo or anything, it's only going to make it louder.
well actually lyric8 was sort of right he just forgot one thing you have to delay one side to make it sound like it's in stereo. it's called the haas effect, look it up!
@Alexander, you were right to though if you just duplicate and spread it would just make it louder. but it's the delay that makes it stereo.
Well that is just gonna make it sound like it's off centre, I hardly think that's what you want on vocals.
sounds really cool! I think the vocals don't need that much tweaking. maybe a slight tempo-synced delay (with automated dry/wet-level) ... or a some parallel compression, slightly mixed with some delay/reverb. or some mid/side equalizing.. or..and..or.. I actually wouldn't do that stereo left/right thing too much. could be a little exhausting after some time. there is already a lot going on left and right. pretty nice "track"!
