An online friend, John Vaughan sent me a lyric. I looked at it for a few days not knowing what to do. A few days later I chopped it up into small parts, added a few more parts and came up with this. Is the vocal clear enough? Can't recall the original tracks as I swapped them over many times but there are two drum tracks: Nashville Even 8 and Pop Promise Even 16. Two bass tracks: Electric Pop Power 4s and Electric Pop Shining Held.

Great write, good song. It seems like your vocals could use just a little less lows, it almost sounds muffled, but just a little!!

Really nice song, great lyrics, good singing. Yes, the vocals sound a little muffled. Might be worth looking into. Again, the song is great!

Cool use of guitars.
I can make out the vocal, but there's something going on that's messing with the clarity.
I enjoyed the song.

Cool song and narrative. Not sure the aggressive electric works.
Cheers

Don't need to worry about you, Vic No need to beat you up on the muffled vox. Still, I can hear all of the words, and those lyrics are really cool. What a good group of players you've selected. I really like those quick changes. The mix otherwise is perfect. Everything is clear.

I found the boom-i-ness of the mix difficult to listen to. The vocals are (still) muddy. The bass is overly dominant. There seems to be a phasing problem of some kind - the boom-i-ness fluctuates ( like a sign wave). Could be some kind of plugin that you have on the entire mix???
It all clears up some during the bridge. The boom-y bass goes away at that point and the vocal are much more clear there. Comparing that difference might help lead you to the problem.

Vic, great start. I liked the backing tracks, instrumentation, and mix. The vocal good but as mentioned it could be cleaned up, however I understood each word.
With a little polish on the vocal this will be a gem!

Vic,
Good colab. Came together well. Solid arrangement and vocals. Mix is a little lower end rich, especially vocals even for very neutral AKG headphones that I have.. Some EQ will easily fix it. Still, will echo Mario: "I understood each word." Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Hi Floyd.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Last night I looked into my DAW and found that for some reason all the individual tracks were somehow combined with each other to varying extents, i.e. the vocals had certain amounts of the bass, drums and other instruments on them.
This was obviously muddying the mix. No idea how it happened.
Anyway I took away all the sends and started again. Seems to have resolved the issue. I hope.
Vic

Mario.
Thanks for your comments. I found last night that the mix was contaminated somehow with bleed from every track.
I hope I have now solved the problem.
