hey everyone,

Today I dusted off my recording equipment to record my old friend. He was feeling a bit down after quitting his band of 7 years (hence the sadness of the songs) so I told him Id record him for fun. We put down these two tracks and of course he wanted them mixed right away. It cheered him up but i want to remix these two songs.

I used an at2020 for vox and an at2021 for the acoustic together into a presonus firestudio 26x26. I was gonna run it through my alesis 3630 compressor but i can never get a good compression sound out of it so i compressed the vocals a bit to even them up with the software compressor in logic. I added some reverb to it too, again logic. I am not very happy with the reverb sound on the vocals, it doesnt seem to mix very well.

So question is what do you guys think overall, any pointers? what software reverbs do you guys recommend i buy for this type of music.

I havent recorded in a long while and i want to get this sounding good for him to cheer him up and renew his faith in himself musically.

Thanks!

Edit- yes i know you can hear the tv at the beginning of the songs. I live with my near-deaf parents and they had the tv blasting. I dont mind it though
