Looking For Some Mixing Criticism...

[PillsBury]

Hi there,
This is a short "cover" I recorded for someone that asked me to make him a ringtone.

The original song is Gnarls Barkley - Crazy.
The lyrics are in my native language and they basically say:
"I rememeber when, I rememeber,
when you used to push the Send,
when I didn't have to nag...bla bla bla...
Answer me...
Answer me...
Answer me..."

Anyways, Looking for some mixing tips, or mixing flaws rather

Especially, although most of you don't know the language, do the vocals come through the mix clearly through out the whole "song" ? or maybe they come a lil' too strong? The right vocals level always gets kind of confusing after listening to your project for about a gazillion times same goes for the drums...

Thx,ZBBZ.

do the vocals come through the mix clearly through out the whole "song"

Sure, sounds pretty good.

Not bad - but you've got some serious clicks and pops in there though......

Thorugh out the whole song or just in the end, where all the instruments "rise"?

Yeah, didn't catch that on first listen. 0:09 is kinda blatant.

Throughout........

For some reason the vocals had these pops in them...
I re-recorded them, and added a 3rd vocal track for harmony and adjusted all of the tracks levels accordingly...

anything else I can improve in your opinion guys?

[redheadbass]

lead vocal still wrong at 0:17.
I like it better with 3rd vocal.
Lead vaocal is hotter on second mix.

[PillsBury]

Thanks for all the responses guys.

Yeah the vocals are better this way, I agree

what do you mean by wrong?
My language has this letters that might sound like noise. like in german or arab. I can't hear a pop or click there...

[redheadbass]

I can't hear a pop or click there...

Listen again. 0:17

Okie.

Other than that is there something I can improve?

I know it's just a simple and short song but that is why I think it's good practice for a mixing noob like me

You are on the right track.
