I played your rough mix to Mrs. Fretless and her comment was that the vocals and the music don't sound like they were played or recorded in the same place. You could try scaling down that slight pan and bit of delay and reverb further or apply a hint of it to some of the instruments to bring them closer together.

As usual, great vocals, Greg. Well done!

What's next, Mandy?

I too heard a strangeness to the vocals, went back and reviewed the trackings and discovered they didn't line up in the time signature. I had a blooper while recording and doubling that caused a mishap in alignment of both tracks, and when I tried to reposition the tracks manually, ended up creating a delay in the two tracks. That coupled with the panning and the audio effects created a huge echo. I deleted the errant track and redoubled....now it sounds normal and less affected.

I will try uploading to you.

Mandy.....I'm in!!!! You are the wise one. I set up my account so long ago with an old address, now I use the newer one primarily. Didn't think about that. A new rough mix is being uploaded now.

@Fretless can I take you up on your kind offer to do the lead guitar track as no one else has volunteered to do it please?

Strangeness, "verby", spooky...I think we all felt the same about the original vocals. I had to isolate each vocal track to identify the problem. The solution was much easier. An interesting (challenging)  chordal progression to create a melody line. Fun stuff.

I don't feel qualified but certainly I will give it a go. Give me a few days to think of and record something.

Greg, there are two versions of the lead guitar track on box.com:
GG2-lead-original.wav is the recorded sound which includes guitar pedals, and
GG2-lead-mixed.wav is the mixed version with EQ, delay and more reverb added.
Use whichever you prefer.
PS. Could you upload a copy of the vocal track, please? I like to mix my own version but I don't have a vocal track on its own? Many thanks.

I am out of town for the next few days, away from my recording setup. I will get back to this when I return.

The mix is up in the Box for collaborators to review and post here. Sorry it took me so long. I worked with a friend who has a developed mix lab to learn some tips on mixing. Hope it passes the test.

Great mix Greg, I really like it. Thank you for doing it. ?? 

Here it is for everyone to listen to.

The Way It's Meant To Be

I also like the way that Fretless has done the lead guitar. I had been wondering how to do fills over a rhythm track which sounds like a riff. 

?Great job everyone!?

 Excellent job! Congrats to everyone involved in the production!
