I tried to add more space and brighten up around the snare to compensate, but I can't change it out for another sound ... because it's a live recording.

The above is first pass w/ the new vocal. I' ...

Side of beef hit w/ a soggy napkin? Ouch! Don't hold back G ... Very Happy

Actually, I think you're right. The snare still needs more meat and punch ... and I think it might be a little dry too.

Sometimes before I add vocals, I like to get the music bed mix complete -- and then layer the vocal into it afterwards ... which is what I'm doing here.

I'm posting the music bed because there's ar ...

I just put this through a complete makeover ...

The mix is still on the rough side -- it's a headphone mix after tracking and comping the vocal -- so certain sonic decisions may soun ...

I record all my music in a small room, smaller than any apt ... just barely larger than a closet.
