hi,

i have another song that i could use some suggestions on, particularly in regards to eq and also i'm trying to get the vocals and pianos to blend together better. i've played around a little with some combination and reverb and tape delay. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

I think the vocals sound a bit too syllabant (sp?) For example, the line "...flesh sinks in the snow..." really stands out on the high end because of all the "ssss" sounds. I think the trick will be to make sure that the to vocal parts exist in their own space in that regard.

what can i do help better achieve a better space for the vocal?

the space sounds fine to me.
pan the vocals apart just slightly and do something about that sibilance.
i think it really makes the song very difficult to listen to.

piano sounds really cool, i've tried many times to get a decent upright type sound out of plug ins and a roland but it never works. I think the vocals are cool like that, maybe suck a little of the high end out so theres not so much ssss but I like the intimacy of them, suits the tune well.

Employ the use of a little de-esser?
