This is good! It's a nice arrangement.

I would do more to the vocals from a postprocessing perspective, like the effect is good, but it doesn't feel layered into the song like the rest of it is stereo and the vocals sound mono. I think even with effects like this, you still want them to have reverb and stereo so that they feel lush regardless.

So, you could use something to stereoize the sound more clearly, or just take the manual approach and make a track with a delay between left and right ear and slightly different volumes and EQ. Sometimes this is more of an art than just trying to absolutely mimic physical space.

Heh. Usually I talk about people for trying to save something in postprocessing, this is the opposite sort of feedback! Ha.

Also thinking I feel like the effect could use a few more of those higher overtones, where there is that nice crunchy effect. I think this would sound amazing with some of these changes.

Thanks!!! This is super helpful feedback! I think I was definitely afraid to over process and put too many effects on the vocals. I also really appreciate suggestions on what to try.

I think it's less about "too many effects" on postprocessing, and more about layering the right effects in postprocessing. I'm still learning all of this too. Heh.

But there's an order to things like compression, EQ, condenser effect, that sort of thing.

It's like the more you do to make a sound interesting, the more you risk making it murky and muddy. It's like the spectrum is between murky (overprocessed) and flat (underprocessed), but then the art is to make it neither murky nor flat, sort of like you're wall jumping up a wall between murky and flat, where the higher up you get, the less murky and flat it gets, but you always have to trade between the two until your mix is perfect.

That's the sense I have for now, anyways, we'll see how I feel about that in a couple more years of doing this heh
