Here’s my take on this track. The main points of note were:
* I’ve tried to keep the vocals front and centre. Apart from the usual EQ and comp, I’ve used a transient shaper to give them slightly more attack though the effect is quite subtle.
* There are tempo synced delays on some of the guitars to make things sound a little thicker and to get some syncopation happening amongst the parts.
* I found it difficult to get the drums to a point where I was entirely happy with them. I still feel they could use some work, but I figured I’d reached the point of diminishing returns! There’s a tape saturation plugin and a comp on the drum bus, plus a few EQs scattered about. The snare has got an 80’s style gated reverb on it to increase the sustain a bit.
All in all a really catchy track which I had a lot of fun working on. Comments and criticisms welcome!
