Feedback for Country Rock Mix needed

[VirtualSelf]

Looking for some feedback on my mix. I am not a fan of the vocals but I can't seem to EQ out the weird tone of it. Also is the bass too loud? How does it all feel? Been working on it for a couple days and have gone through many revisions, just looking for another set of ears and new feedback. Thanks!

what's wrong with it?= it's great! Don't fall into the trap of getting bored with your own stuff because you've heard it over & over, due to writing, recording & mixing.
If you feel it sounds good from the beginning then stay with it.. Just my opinion.


I like it, good stuff.


Peace.

overall impression is nice..
the vocal seems not coming through here and there, especially during verses,
maybe look at volume automaton of the vocals or maybe adding a little more reverb,
could be louder in general, in my opinion, lets see what others say..

I can only listen on my phone right now (will try to listen on a better set-up later). With an admittedly limited sonic perspective, I would say it sounds good. I think the difference between the vocal sections is where it might need some tweaking. Good song and feel though, and it's nice to hear something non-Hip Hop every once in awhile.
Are these your tracks? Did you do the tracking (or are you only working on the mix)?

You're not that far off... instrumentation sounds nice. I think the vocal needs more compression and then push it up slightly in volume. Also, with vocals I will generally go through it and use some detailed volume automation b/c compression can only do so much. Don't be afraid of changing the parts that feel to loud or soft with volume automation (even if it is just a missing consonant). For this track, you want to even out your vocals a bit more and push it up in volume a bit. If the vocal competes to much with your instrumentation, try cutting a little more off of the low end to push it more out in front (but be careful not to thin it out to much b/c then you will lose power). Good luck... this is not my style of music at all but I enjoyed the track!!

Voice is too low in mix

[chris carter]

The music sounds nice. The vocal is too low and not in the right space. It also sounds like the vocal is coming out of a gramaphone for some reason. It could be a mix issue, but it would take a lot of processing to get the vocal to sound like that so I suspect it's a recording quality issue. It's a bit odd that the music sounds like it was recorded well, but the vocal sounds like it was recorded poorly. I would take ALL the processing off the vocal and see if you have something more usable and decide if re-recording is necessary (performance is nice though). If it sounds normal with no processing, then start over and just do a lot less to it. And make it louder in the mix.
