Experienced ears and decent monitors needed!

i like the tune... it reminds me of the Postal Service... which is a good thing.

i know you probably don't want to hear it after getting the mix so close to completion, but i agree with buzzcock about the auto-tune on vocals...

great drum programming. very nice.

many regards,

I really, really dig the lyrics, very cool! If you'd lose the cliche' autotune effect on the vocals it would be awesome. Set up a bus with reverb ran through a vocoder and mix that in along with the non effected vox, that would probably give you a cool electronic effect without the Cher cheese. The mix sounds good on my headphones, but you can never tell until you hear something on some decent monitors. Headphones just don't work for mixing. Theyre good to check a mix on, but you need some quality monitors or even good hifi speakers will do the trick in some cases.

I liked it. It's very dynamic which is refreshing thesedays with overly compressed music. The voices was a bit too midly and lacked a little definition. But I liked it much. Well done!

Please keep the dynamics and don't let any so called 'mastering' engineer ruin that!

I used my RME hammerfall multiface and a pair of Pyramid Triple-P critical nearfields.

Thanks, people!

Now you're making me think of going back once more - maybe try to sing in tune... Try some different "electronic" FX on the vocals.

Hmmm...
