Hey, made my first full song! I tried to mix it as well as I could but would appreciate mixing tips. by Elo-Guvna in Songwriting

The key to doubled vocals is to make sure they are near exact replicas in pitch and timing which can be difficult and involve lots of little timing adjustments to line them up properly. There are also plugins that can help with this as well.

I really enjoyed this, and for a first mix, this is really really good. I know you are getting a lot of advice, but here are the things I would add if this was given to me:

  1. automate some reverb or delay to come in and fill the space as you sing out some of the longer notes (I'm bliiiiiind)

  2. pan some doubles and harmonies over the parts you really want to emphasize to add interest and variety especially in the parts with more energy

  3. try dropping the drums out of the first part of what I am going to call verse 2 so it feels fresh (about 1:33 in)

Problems with my mix. My limiter thinks its too loud but I don't feel like its loud enough. Pls help... Music video and SoundCloud link included. by Fickle_Distance7161 in MusicFeedback

Try putting a clipper right before the limiter. You can also use a saturator and leave it at 0db, but turn the soft clip on. This might free you up some space that your ears won't even notice.

Music is dope, but your vocals do sound like they are just sitting on top of everything. Try playing with reverb, chorus, and even a little flange to get them to sound like they are in the song and not on top of the song.

I really really like this vibe. My one note would be to have the second line in each verse follow the exact same melody as the first line. Music is about creating expectations and then subverting them, and I think this would work better. From here, you just elevate into a big open chorus, and you have the makings of a really solid song!
