    Here's mine, thanks for the extension. I had trouble with the making the vocals sound good, everything else seems OK.

    I think it might be too bright, working with loud trains tends to lower your High-frequencies hearing range. That why i usually wake up early just to listen to a mix before going to work, then in my car on the way there and finally on any extended break available lol

    My vote goes to... @Calvin Lanz's Mix. To me, that mix sounds the most "record like / ready" of the bunch, although the vocals bus could still use some volume automation to maintain some adaptive vocal balance across the whole song, other than that it's pretty much "record ready" sounding. Good job!

    Honorable mentions: - @Introninja - Nice punchy drums, spacious, but the vocals needs more volume, solidity and definition. Well Done!
    - @SteveBoston - Nice mix overall, although the sub bass could use some taming and bringing it down a bit, while the vocals are kinda boxy and the volume automation kinda linear (seeming louder in the beginning when there's no drums, then muffling down when the mix gets denser). Well Done!

    well thank you very much, I appreciate that a lot!! I tried to do that a little bit already, maybe if you could point me to parts of the vocal that you find lacking in volume?

    No Problem.
    0:10 - 0:20 = bring the vocal down by 0.5db.
    0:58 - 1:11 = bring the vocal up by 0.5db (and other similar busy places in the mix where you feel the vocal gets a tad crowded by the other elements). Then print it again and see how it does balance wise.

    Thanks for the help, it does sound a lot better now! Or at least more consistent. Went through the entire vocal and touched up some words here and there in addition to what you said.

    Makes sense :yes:

    Introninja: music seems to overpower vocals
    Tod: Your added off-beat beats sound strange to me & music overpowers vocals towards the end.
    Vampire: I like your added synth
    Spyfx: after listening to everyone else's, you deciding to go with a different timing of the rap throws me off, but it might even be off-time
    Calvin: As others have said, sounds sorta polished, maybe a little too polished - ie, too much (vocal) compression?
    Gyero: Reverb sounds too "big"; tail too long/delayed
    junh1024: Mine.
    Beat: Image too wide
    Moose: Deserves praise for being most different, vocals too fast tho imo
    Steve: keepin it original as others have said

    Overall comments: Vocals sound ok alone, but when mixed you'll notice the flaws. Some people added reverb, EQ, etc to make it fit.
