It would be interesting to hear the unmastered mix. I use T-Racks for
mastering my own projects and I couldn't even manage to get as much
compression pumping as that after two hours of perseverence!
Even whilst trying to ignore the compression, I would agree that the whole
thing sounds very "centred" there is obvious panning, but the stereo picture
doesn't appear very wide. Perhaps that's just another side-effect of the
over-compression. That could be the sonic problem you're hearing.
Regards,
Lynn

Hi all, I was wondering if any of the pro engineers here would give this
recording a listen and tell me what they think might be causing the
sonic problem we're encountering. We are recording/editing/mixing (a
Christian-oriented record) at a newish local studio (Protools based) and
usually the mixes sound ok on the studio monitors but invariably in my
car and other places the whole thing sounds like it's coming out of a
soupcan or box or small bathroom or something, for lack of a better
description, like it really lacks any kind of naturally expected
high-end openness.
Personal opinion?
Tune is nice, playing decent....
The recording is compressed to death....
The compression on the music isn't that bad, but the vocals are squished
to death.
Vocals also need to be louder, much louder.
Kill the vocal compression, add a little top end and I think you might be
in the ball park.
