I hate to be "that guy" again, but the soprano range is from middle C to the C above the treble clef. . .and most of the vocal notes in that song are above middle C. The problem is that the alto and soprano ranges overlap each other quite a bit, so it can get confusing.

Here's to hoping you find a drummer soon!

Oh lol well it isn't soprano to me. I guess technically it is, but it's not the highest part of my range. (I haven't had the formal training you have, so I've no idea what the technical terms and stuff are)

Thanks :]

Now that I got my Flash player fixed, here are some comments:

1. Better vocal. More push, more conviction.

2. The mix, not so much. The band is squashed flat, a postcard propped up behind the singer. It sounds like she's doing metal karaoke.

I understand the drums are canned, so I won't bust you about that, but... the bass is inaudible, the guitars sound like 10 pounds of digital processing in a 5 pound bag.

Here are some things to try:

Retrack the guitar with LESS distortion. Let us hear some string in there... I'm sure it feels awesome when you're playing it, but it will never mix right. Distortion = compression.

Mix just the drums and bass, leaving everything else turned off, until you can feel the power of the rhythm section. Then add guitars, with the low-mids scooped JUST A LITTLE BIT around 300hz. Make the guitars LOUD. Then add the vocal, and ass soon as you can hear the vocal where you like it, bring it down 3db.

How many tracks of that guitar are you running? And (be honest now) did you really double that guitar part, or did you cut and paste the track?
