Original work: Okay - tcrbondy - 07-04-2011
Hey guys a friend and I had to write an original song for a class we are in, we found someone via the internet to record themselves singing our song. We know the vibrato is bad, she is classically trained, but we are looking for any other advice possible!

The vocal is sitting too far back in the mix. The vocal level has to come up more.

A good trick is to listen to your mix outside of the room where it's playing. It gives you a sense of perspective. I listened to your track on headphones and the vocal was slightly (not much) in the background. On active nearfiled monitors or speakers (domestic sound system) it's going to be even more indistinct. Just an opinion which you can ignore if you like.
