Critique My Mix - Youtube Video Mix

Hey guys, I do acoustic cover videos on youtube. I am still trying to perfect a sound with my equipment. Here is an mp3 mix, as well as a Reaper project file if you would like to mess with my setting and effects. Again, this is done in a single take, so you can hear the acoustic guitar a little on the vocal track. I have to do it this way, it is for live videos! Are my levels okay? Can you tell if either the guitar or vocals have too much of any frequency range? Is the reverb too much? MP3 File: Reaper Project: Notes: The rendered version uses a few Waves vst plugins. For the Reaper project file, so that others could view and edit all of the effects, I changed these effects to native Reaper vst effects. There are some impulse files for the reverb that will be in the project folder; let me know if they are not working. Thanks

Sounds really good to me, especially for a single take. Some words in the vocal are hard to understand as you get further into the song. Maybe EQ can help with that (highs or upper mids... maybe??), though the main problem must be that it's extremely difficult to hit every word just right in one take. The reverb doesn't sound overdone, though you could have less and it would still sound good, I think. There's a loud click around 1:33 in the mp3 Do you have any tips on how to prepare audio to upload to Youtube? I've found it tends to get badly distorted.

Dave, A really nice song. Simple and good lyrics. Not much to fix, although you need a "pop screen" on the mic or angle it across your delivery. There is a funny blip at about 1:33 which could be taken out in post production. For me the verb on the voice is bang on. All in all, I'd say an excellent effort and a really good song.

Same comments as the others. Your plosives can be tamed and the glitch needs to be edited out. Other than that, just wanted to drop in to say that I like this a lot. I'm a big fan of anything done just with acoustic guitar and vocals. Good job.
