Mate I admire the work in this but it doesn't grab me in any way apart from the first piano part which h is quite nice. I imagine this feedback is a bit of bummer but I'd rather be honest so you can throw your energy into something better. My last WIP here was not good so as ever many of us are constantly in the process of elation then coming down to earth.

This is part of a wip I am doing but I am really having a tough time with this vocal stem. Is it me or am I getting a serious amount of backend noise.
What I am hearing is a clicking noise and a almost "sub" hit after each pronunciation.
I dont have monitors and use cans for mixing and this is seriously annoying me. Is it me?
Also, when I add reverb to the stem the sub sound really is pronounced.
This is very familiar territory. Those back end clicks and noise are a common problem.
First thing I do with any vocal is get the scissors out and zoom right in to remove as much of this as possible BUT I find I then often need to automate the volume because some extraneous noise always remains and if you chop it out you often get a bad click, so I will do something like a fast volume slope on any remaining issues.
Then it's time to eq - there's a fair bit of 'the room' in this take, but personally I prefer this to a totally bone dry vocal.
heres a song I did a while ago, am thinking about reworking it to bring it up to date. Im so used to hearing this the way it is (because of listening to it a million times) that im finding it hard to get creative with it again. Ive lost that "fresh" listen aspect. So im after mainly songwriting, arrangement sound design advice, etc. Not really mix related stuff cause its a rough mix. Thanks guys,
Mate this is just very like something we see on the Eurovision song contest, perhaps the entry from a Romania or Belarus, it sounds about 15 years out of date.
Sorry mate I suspect you have some sort of deep attachment to It, but my advice would be off it and move on.

Not a bummer at all! I appreciate honest feedback.

Just one suggestion: add vocal to it before I will comment on it - this way everything else (like all of your sounds/instruments) will have to sit slightly different way so final effect will be effected.
I like it so far

Find a specific frequency where this is happening, if this is constant/same range along this whole vocal recording then you could remove/undercut if not then you get ready for some bumpy ride
Let me/us know in what freq this persist.
Edit: It will be some amount of work if this is all over this freq. but you could (if you are familiar with Adobe Audition software) to mask it to some extend.

would like to hear a dub version
I'm not sure if I already comment on this but anyway: first work with your vocal - is this really clean recording? if yes I would like to expose more in your track, make is stand out more (you push it to far back for my taste) two, upgrade some of your key instruments sounds to up today ones to make your music more interesting/catchy.

Mate, no need to apologise, the older I get the less attached I get to my music which I think is healthy. Your Eurovision comment made me laugh! Pisser!
So, is it the production that's out of date, or both the song and production?
