So when I FINALLY (after 2-3 hours) got a track with less mistakes (also the least noticable) and I tried to merge it with the instrumental... I noticed that the vocals were late!! and to my surprise.. though I sang WITH vocals-- I found it strange that there would be a problem with timing. BUT WHAT DO YOU KNOW?!? the instrumental has a ONE SECOND difference from the original with vocals. Well isn't that lovely?? and when I listened to my vocals AND the off timing... it just sounds terrible OTL. I think I just butchered my latest favorite song from Supercell. would anyone help me with this? ;A;  idk how to mix the tracks and render it. I can't figure out how to make my track at the right volume because the instrumental overpowers my voice. I duplicated my track so it would have two like the instrumentals, messed with the sounds, but still can't get the right volume. I can give you my vocals, original song, and instrumental so you can compare but I honestly don't know what to do from here. If you don't mind how crappy it is anyways..(It makes me wonder if I should have redone Eternal Snow and send that instead. At least I know that song by heart, match the instrumental and don't sound as terrible ;A.I'm actually surprised I stuck with the song and continued to work on it. It makes me want to give up the audition >>;;   

Mixers...I now understand your pain. and YOU actually know what you're doing. rendering/mixing is driving me nuts! I shall go crawl back to my anime and otome games until I can find someone to help me xD
