I wrote and produced this. Done entirely with virtual instruments, samples and MIDI except the vocals. I mixed this myself so far – no mastering yet. I greatly appreciate any and all feedback on the song itself and the mix. Thanks! – Don

Zakk's Mix Feedback
Love the song and production! Great work.
The vocal isn’t fully sitting in the mix in some places, but if it gets squashed down in mastering it might actually fix that.
For the arrangement I feel like something was missing in the choruses. The song was basically the same level throughout the whole thing. I think it would be cool to add another layer of instruments in the choruses to make them sound bigger. Maybe some driving rhythm electrics just strumming 8th notes or something big synth sounds?

Hey, thanks so much for the feedback and suggestions! I’m still learning to mix, and really appreciate it. Would you mind giving this updated version a listen and letting me know if it’s any better? I am still working on the Chorus to get it a bit bigger as you suggested. Thanks – Don

Sure! The mix is definitely more balanced now. Nice work!
