Hi. Old guy that can finally afford computers and plugins. Terrible singer (let's be real, barely a vocalist) songwriter, musician, and even worse mixer and producer.
First time recording and mixing with modern tools. I have been working on mixing and producing skills for about 8 months. Thanks pandemic! Put a lot of time and money into it but accept my skill level.
I improved but not to where I want to be and thought it time to share this unfinished project early, esp with the world chaos and all.
I was going to resist seeking the (crushing) advice of experts, but here we go. Breathe deep.
Please do tell me how to improve.
Thanks in advance. I may be slow in thanking you as my ego rebalances.

Great work...  More drums would move it along better for me.  Thanks for sharing!

[Jon IsaacParticipant]

Thanks Paul.

I presume you mean drums louder in the mix, and not more drum solos? Haha. I went against my gut and brought the drums down.

Cheers, Jon

Jon, love the track. Great vibe. Takes me back. I would not be so harsh on yourself. If that's your vocals you're doing fine. Trust me. Coming from someone in your shoes.

Thanks Lukasz,

You are too kind. Encouraging! Cheers!
