A really good track Kristin. Very good melody line. Has surprises in where it goes, which is really nice.

I think the instrumental backing is kind of busy, or perhaps it just needs to be mixed differently. I thought the vocal worked very well generally. There were a couple of places where you added a little touch that made it really special. That's what I'd like to hear more of, because it is clear that you can do it.

I feel that the mix is missing a bottom end. Your bass line is set up more in the middle of the frequency spectrum. I would experiment adding one or more layered bass parts to balance the sound more. You can use an EQ on each bass instrument, cutting the frequencies that you don't want from it, to focus each instrument on a specific range of the frequency spectrum so the whole thing doesn't get muddy. Route them all to a bass bus. If your DAW has a bass enhancing effects plugin, experiment with that as well. I often use Lowender, but there are others.

Generally, to my ears, the instrumental backing is working the same frequency range as your vocal. And because it has a lot going on, it is competing for attention. I'd look at adjusting the levels and probably automating gain changes on the vocals bus vs. the instruments buses.

If you aren't routing the individual tracks in your DAW to separate mix busses, I would recommend experimenting with that and applying compression and EQ on the busses.

You have a lot more to offer than vocals and lyrics. I'm impressed.

Damn you have a good voice. If you are down, I would love to make a EDM/Trap remix if you sent me the vocals for this

Great work here. The vocals really stand out on this one. Everything sounds mixed down well and the instrumental is great. All in all, outstanding work. I look forward to hearing more of your work in the future.

Vocals from JakeBuzzard acapella "Virus".

Rough mix and needs re-working, putting into stereo and some work done on dynamics but interested in hearing anyone's genuine thoughts. Thanks as always, Ben.

Description : Peace
Peace is something I haven't felt in a while.
Im not talking about the small moments where you feel peaceful.

Im talking about being at Peace. The kind where you sit in the rain/snow, and just...lay there. In the moment where you accept yourself..
