"My Head & My Heart" is a song by American singer Ava Max, released on November 19, 2020, through Atlantic Records. It was included on the digital reissue of Max's debut studio album, Heaven & Hell (2020). The pop and dance song was written by Max, Madison Love, Aleksey Potekhin, Sergey Zhukov, Tia Scola, Earwulf, and Cirkut, with production handled by the latter two producers and Jonas Blue. It interpolates the 2000 song "Around the World (La La La La La)" by ATC, which is a cover of the 1998 composition "Pesenka" by Ruki Vverh!. "My Head & My Heart" peaked at number 45 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and at number 18 on the UK Singles Chart. An accompanying music video was directed by Charm La'Donna and Emil Nava and depicts Max performing choreography inside a nightclub.

Hi guys. I have tried to save new setting of volumes in the DAW, but I don´t know how to do it. I was trying to increase my volume to the max basically. I think it´s too low and cannot be heard. Can someone tell me how I can do that? Thank you :)

Hi Margarex I am not sure how to do that in the daw window, I do know in studio mode, you can click the spanner on your track and there is a volume slider in there :-) You sound fantastic here, but yeah, too low in volume.

@Grant : after you click the spanner, I normally click on "Gain." The aduio can be boosted in volume by 0.5 every time you click on "Boost Audio."

The volume of the lead vocal sounds fine to me.

Margarex - I will check out your levels. fyi - the best place to set your levels is when recording, to get the best possible track. Your levels should be just going into the red, and then you turn it down just a little so you don't clip. That will give you good levels every time.

Margarex - Hey Marga, I did an overall re-mix. The trouble is that we don't keep our instruments in their "lane" on Hug. Bass/Drums, Keys/guitar all fight for the same space, and it gets crowded. I think you're levels sound good. Your BT seems to be mixed in with your lead vox , which is panned to the left. I prefer vox to be centered, but that's just me. You can load my mix in DAW to hear it, but will have to wait for Frank to get home from work to publish it...

Hi! I just uploaded my vocals. They need to be sync on -00:00.093 . It might have to be adjusted later on once the keys come in and the whole beat of the song is complete. Thank you :)

@thx1138: I am happy you like it. I want to thank Fuss_Mussington publicly and honor him for working on many of my vocals. He is the maker and architect in this one and also in Crow´s ´If it makes you happy´. That one happened to be one of my best ones, to which he contributed greatly :)

@Margarex: This was a very nice surprise. I would like to publicly state that the honor is truly all mine. It's not like I deserve hazard pay for listening to your well tuned expertly orchestrated singing voice. And that's before I get my hands on it! It's the least I can do seeing as you set the ball rolling and invited me to check out this website and you were the only one able to inspire me to release a song before my recording media became obsolete or extinct along with the dinosaur using it. Also let it be known that our Marga does not accept pitch doctored tracks of her voice unless it's necessary to set the tone like we did with Ava Max. So Marga appears to be running late it won't take long to figure out why. If I am involved she usually has her tracks to me within 48 hours you inviting her. It is I that  spendz the timez. So don't blame her. It's me. Thank you so much M. Tl:DR MARGA is a boss!!11
