Hi All This is my first attempt in Reaper. It's a collaboration with a lyricist I know. I would love any feedback or advice! EDIT:new version is here : It was recorded with the setup below. Thanks MM

Stashbox is being uncooporative. I'll stop back later.

Cool. It sounds like you probably had fun making it. The vox needs a little tuning and the general excitement level of the track can be stepped up a bit but it's a process. If you can post the individual tracks in a compressed format (stereo drums, mono bass, mono guitar, mono vox) like mp3 I can do a quick remix and tuning just for fun.

New version - with Jamstix! 

Hi All We've changed the song quite a bit since the last version was uploaded. We've introduced Jamstix, increased the speed of the track and changed the vocal style. Again, I would love any comments/critiscm!

I think it would be a good idea for you to really analyze the artists you love. Study their mixes and balances and try to duplicate what you hear. Compression is your friend in terms aof balancing out levels.
