Actually all tracks provided in the multitrack download are completely raw apart from slight EQing we did on our Macke 8-Bus while recording. (talking about wide-range 2-3db adjustments)
I'm suspecting the recording microphone not to be so linear anymore. It's got some years on it's back and it was stored in a damp rehearsal room for some years, maybe that messed the frequency response up a bit... too bad.
As far as I know we'll get a Shure SM7 soon. It has proven to be super solid for rock vocals. Maybe that could fix further vocal issues for future mixes.
Thanks for your feedback!
