Sea of Leaves

Thanks for the listen and any input

The guitars sound awesome! What processing did you use to get them jiving so nicely? I'm working on this one at the moment and could use a little nudge in the right direction in this area...

I think the overheads could use about 3dB of high shelving cut around 4 to contain the cymbal brightness. As a whole though, the drums sound really good... nice and punchy. Maybe pull the lead vocal in front of the guitars a little in the choruses with a slight cut in the upper mids on the guitar bus? or parallel compression might do the trick if you wanted, but the guitars almost sound too good to get buried under the vocal! If you like the lead synth track, I'm using an autopan to help it peak through the mix, but it sounds really good buried in your version, too.

Maybe the backing vox would blend a little easier with some pitch correction, but just enough that they don't lose the gang vocal effect.

Great work!!!
