Hi there, I need your feedback.🙏
I feel something awkward in this self-mixing song and I can’t figure out what it is.😞

So from what I can hear the vocals can seem a bit buried at times. You could either turn them up with volume automation or perhaps ease off of the reverb a bit. Too much verb can push vocals behind other instruments so most modern engineers tend to use delay to give the vocals some depth. On the sonic spectrum everything seemed fine to me. Maybe a bit too much bass but it wasn't distracting. There were also a few times I thought I heard the bad kind distortion but it was hard to tell if it was intentional or not. Other than those few things it sounds like a good track to me. Well done

Thank you for your feedback so helpful!

[Use delay to give the vocals some depth] I'll examine! I use that vocal reverb (Airwindow's Galactic BTW) to depict [alone in some hall] in lyrical context, but yeah, it's too huuuge lol

[Bad kind distortion] is intentional hehehe😁 It's Noise Gate ducking sound above the threshold.

[SC] stands for Side-Chain right? Yeah, I agree that's what I had to do and I forgot😅
[It sounds good to me ! well done!!] I'm glad you like it! That ease my mind😊

Nice track! I think it need's some cleanup and more separation/transparency between elements, cuz it sounds a bit cluttered. Also it can be brighter, it's a little bit too dark for me. Great job on the track, love the emotion! 😉

Is that an e-paino being used? I agree with everyone, it needs cleaned up & your voice doesn't sit right.

Thank you for your feedback! So glad to hear that you love the emotion😄
So, [Clean up], that’s the point what I’m looking for I guess. I feel the same as you wrote. Really appreciate that😊

No e-piano but midrange pad to raise the emotion at the end.
