Really nice song, it really put me in that magical moongazing mood. You did a great job on the vocals, but mix wise i thought they could've been a little wider and fuller in some sections. I noticed that you already used doubled recordings for the background vocals, so i guess you could do the same for the main vocals (you could also add a take sung an octave lower for more body), but i know it can be really hard to sing multiple takes and get them all right, so this is just a suggestion for when you'll develop the song more. Also, in the section starting at the 2 minute mark, i think you could either lower the guitar or boost the vocals a bit, because it's kind of difficult to focus on the vocals this way. Great job overall and good luck on continuing this song!

Hey Denn, thank you for those tips. Like mentioned in the submission page mixing vocals is not my forte since they need their own tool set and also need a more "dynamic" approach (specially getting harder when it's your vocals you're working with). Your tip with the stereo field sounds quite true, sadly I only now invested in a good doubler since the other sounded a bit meh. The octave down trick never really worked for me :(. It always sounds a bit to muddy or not noticable at all and since the real recordings are already muddy sounding anyways I never really bothered with it. But when the jam’s over I should give your recommendations another try.
Cheers mate!
