Thanks for you input C. I definitely struggled with the vox. Lots of bleed and not the greatest capture of a voice. I let it get buried behind some of the big wall of sound in several locales in the song. I thought this worked.

Additional note: Using a 1176 or Fairchild limiter on the vox (I use the 1176AE in UA plugs, my personal favorite) will place the vocals in its own space in the open as well as intense parts of the song. In my version of this song, I ended my lead vocal chain with the UA LA-2A (grey) followed by the 1176AE - a trick I learned some time ago from a old mentor of mine (who has since won 7 grammys). I find these 2 at the end of a rock vocal always works for my strategy.

DDL,
Thanks for the suggestion. Not all of us are fortunate enough to have UA plugins. However, my lead vocal chain included two compressors and one limiter and serious equalization removing tons of low end, made trickier by the compression. My final mix is passed through The Glue buss compressor which I have found to be quite nice for an inexpensive and versatile buss and channel compressor.
