I put a new song in my music website called "You Have It Made"; it is the song on top. Please tell me how you like the song, how it can be improved, and I will return the favor (leave me a link if you don't have a recent thread). Here is my link:

I feel that too much of this song lives in the bass range, and it's all soaked in a lot of reverb. When the guitar comes in, it's buried compared to the rest of the mix. Like there's a second instrument mirroring the bass that comes in, and it could be an octave higher, but then drop out during the vocal, which could be pushed much further up in the mix. I think if you think a bit more about the position of each part, that would help the mix seem more dynamic. Bring the vocals up and take some of the reverb off to make it seem closer, and maybe only have the longer reverb on the snare. Seen With Your Eyes is now playing, and I kind of feel the same way. Don't be afraid of midrange! The vocal is better placed on this one, though, but it could still be a bit louder. I really think you could lower the reverb volume by half and it would still sound nice and lush. It sort of feels like you're hiding everything.

I don't know. I must have really bad ears because this sounds fine to me. Another great track. Looking forward to next month's offering.

I quite like the synth melody!

Very catchy bass line and hook. I like the guitar solo especially and how the synth leads build up at the end. Nicely done!

New song to check out as of June 19th! Will return the favor!
