I should not have read your follow up post first haha, now I can’t unhear it! But enjoyed your cover Peter, it’s one of my favorite tracks from the Beatles. For a raw take you have already a solid foundation. The voice and the instrumental parts sounded a bit “disconnected” mix wise. They don’t sound for me like they are 100% in the same room/atmosphere. That is a thing that I noticed while listening the first time.

Thanks for the kind remarks and feedback. I make no secret about really not knowing much about mixing and mastering (I worked professionally as a drummer for around 12 years, but learned very little about mixing and nothing about mastering), so I very much can learn from your advice. Are there any specific actions you could recommend that I could take to make the voice and instrumental parts sound more connected? I’m guessing pulling back on the reverb on the vocals is one step, right? Anything else?
