..real weird tune. Did it in one day using a guitar synth and a bunch of VST instruments. Still gotta add something but not sure what yet.

Suggestions appreciated...

Sounds great.

You might want to cut some of the bottom end of the vocals as it come across as a bit muddy !

yeah... haven't really mixed anything yet so it's just straight outa the board.
Lotsa work to do.
I think I still gotta add something mid song too cause it loses momentum too early.

Added a coupla synth parts before the lead and gave some instruments more breathing room. Also noticed the vocal room-sound was accidentally in mono cause I'd put it through a de-esser at the end of the effects chain, so fixed that too.

I really liked it, , nice work

I like how all your songs sound so professional. You're a very talented individual my man.

I like the overall sound ...listened to it for the last half hour......in total appreciation..... only suggestion...add more of the background vocals...they sound smooth with the lead vocals.

Maybe you oughta consider a career in country music, Schmange...I've listened to several of your tunes before and you kinda have a twangy voice...


...and those timbale things = very synthetic. I'd consider dropping VST instruments or being very careful with their use. They have a tendency to sound cheesy more often than not.
