I really appreciate the amount of time you took into giving feedback, and I think the feedback you gave was excellent! Especially happy to hear that you enjoyed the overall project. Spent a lot of time working on the overall composition of the songs, and hearing praise regarding that really makes me happy.
I do agree with the critiques of the vocal recordings and mixes. As mentioned in the OP, I do plan on doing some re-recordings in certain sections of tracks, so when the project is completed, the vocals will sound better in that regard. However, the number one thing I think I've struggled with for the project is mixing (especially vocal mixing, as you've pointed out in feedback of tracks you've highlighted). A lot of what I've done with the mixes are a result of learning things via websites and YouTube videos I'd watch regarding mixing (seeing as how I started off the project with no production/mixing/mastering knowledge), and even now I'll feel insecure at points when listening specifically to mixes of the songs.
With that being said, at some point if you're okay with it, maybe you could give me some mix pointers in relation to the project via DMs? Whether that's plug-in suggestions, or certain techniques used in mixing for vocals specifically or for the overall mix, I would really value any tips you could give.
Again, thank you for the feedback, I really do appreciate it!
*FYI, I heard one of the previews you made in the PR4 Soundtrack thread (I think it was the first one you posted) and I thought it was very good! I still need to listen to the others you posted in there soon. If you do decide to DM me some tips, could you also show some music you've worked on? I'm really curious to hear some of your other work!
