Hi Jon!
Thanks for sharing and being vulnerable. I feel you! I’m not the residential mix expert here but I can share my top-3 takeaways…
1. The recording sounds great and the overall mix is clean and cozy on my headphones.
2. The lead vocal jumps out here and there which is noticeable in the waveform’s peaks (ex: 1:49). A little volume automation could easily reduce those peaks.
3. This guy can sing though the vocals might benefit from some subtle auto-tune here and there, primarily in the choruses. It’s especially noticeable on the doubling. Doubling can often help cover up pitchiness, but in this case, it’s drawing attention to the pitch and distracting me as a listener from the song.
Some gentle vocal alining of the double (making sure the double pulses start and end around the same point as the lead – by nudging or warping the wave) might add some impact to the chorus as well.
Look forward to hearing more!
🙌

Yeah, the hat does feel hot, esp in chorus 2. Will try that as well. Thanks!

Awesome. Love reading this note (that you also shared on my consultation!) about the levels and cranking the system on the first pass with headroom. I needed this visual/text reminder! 🙏
