Hmm, I find that the vocals along with the content is making this sound cheap and cheesy. For one thing the vocals feel like they are in the wrong space. They are also out of tune. To me the instruments are great it is all about getting the vocals to fit the music.
He cant sing that well lol
I can hear several issues, the main one by far being the vocals that have been heavily tuned, but with mistakes. So in some places, your tuning software actually replaces a note that’s mildly off by a completely wrong pitch. You need to address that and also, even though the singer isn’t great I don’t think this genre calls for such hard tuning, the formants are spoiled and the general vocal performance isn’t well served by that much tuning in my opinion.
I hear a lot of compression and distortion, so I suspect you’ve been using some kind of limiter liberally, but I think it is too much. I think there’s a general imbalance on the frequency curve, with a wide bump over the mid and hi mids. There are a few parts that are sticking out too much in the mix, like for instance the organ from 2:00 onward. There’s a general feeling of boxiness, not enough space both in width and depth.
Apart from that the volumes are balanced and we can hear pretty much everything so that’s not terrible!
I did a speedy mix of the same song a good while ago. Listening back now I don’t think it is a great mix either but I’ll upload it anyway in case you’re interested.
i thought i was going to hear a mix with all tuned vox
