Julian Meinke going from techno to pop

Overall music wise the drums really can be thicker/louder. Little ghost note trick can help out easily on the snare. The piano panning needs to be addressed and the vocals DE-essing plus level.
For vocal leveling play only the drums and bass. Then simply imaging it on stage and turn up the vocals till it makes sense. After turn up the harmony group.
Good luck man!

Hi Guido, Thank you for the detailed feedback! Appreciate it. With regards to the piano, we doubled it, processed it a little bit differently and delayed one side and the side chained the mid to the vocal. That might not have been the best idea, so will definitely follow your advice. The vocals we did indeed record in our home studio, and yes there is OTT on it, so I will try to deess before and fix the high end. And I'll be sure tog et rid of that one sound, I think it was a percussion haha But overall great feedback and will surely implement it, thank you!
