Hey there,

I love Georgy Porgy great song!

For a single take it sounds pretty clean.

Regarding the mix:
- Overall it sounds too bright to my taste
- The kick lacks definition
- The vocal is sitting a little behind. I think the reverb tail is way too long also I would probably add more pre-delay so as to push it forward more. Before the solo though, the vocal sits more in front so not sure what the best would be. But in the beginning I'm very quickly annoyed by the late reflections in the high end acting as a delay of every word
- I would try to make the snare having a filler sound, right now all we here is a "splash"
- Overall I feel like I'm hearing different instruments, and not necessarily a glued piece as a whole
-

Great voice, sounds maybe a bit dark? Maybe a you could try to slightly boost the presence frequency?
Love the guitar sounds. Synth sounds great as well. (be careful synth are eating the vocal a lot at times especially in the end).

Obviously those are only my subjective thoughts, and hope that gives you another perspective. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for your feeedback - definitively appreciate the extra perspective and will use in the next revision!

One question please - when you say needs to be „glued together“ - how would you go about achieving that? I am hearing that often but don‘t know how to do…

acutally, the less you seperate everything, the more it is "glued". Most say they achieve it with compression on the master.
Actually I like how use your "room" in your mix, just feeling like the reverbs are clashing a bit.

Thanks Arthur, helpful. I agree the reverb on the vocal was terrible, I fixed that in the meantime - went from 3.6s to 1.2s and lowered the amount - sounds nice now. I do have a buss compressor on the master, had a look today. It is reacting to the kick (1-2db Gr), but actually is reacting much more to the loud vocals (up to 5dB Gr), so not really „moving the song volume in line witht eh beat“. I‘ll see what I can do to get more response to the kick. Thanks

I like the overall track vibe and general feel so I think you've done a great job making room for everything but you might consider trying to decrease the width on the toms and overheads so the drums don't sound so disjointed from one another. Also, vocals seem a bit too chest heavy so I'd control the low end of the voice a bit more. That might help with that compressor reacting to the vocal so much. Nice track and best of luck.

Thanks Craig, that is a great suggestion on the toms - they are a bit „jarring“ indeed. I caught the chesty vocals in the meantime and have fixed that already for the final version! Thanks all for your great input, this is super helpful - for this specific mix and for the ones to come! Chris

Oh Georgyy!! What a tune!!
A bit too bright on keys and drums but not enough on vocal and lead guitar.
Boxy but thats probably because of the processing you had to do to remove the previous vocal. Perhaps some volume automation could help make it sit better during the whole track.
Definitely reduce the stereo field on those toms. Maybe the main issue is the reverb tho, can't how but makes it feel wrong.
I can tell you made the best out of the recording given to you.
Just my 2cents
