For Lead Vocals, I now tried to "seat them in the mix". And I just lowered the level of the bass a bit. What do you think of this new version of the mix?
EBU R128 measurement: INT -16.9 LUFS / LRA 4.6 LU / TP -1.0dB
Now they sit much better in the mix. Vocals have very nasty resonance in the highs, probably because of boosting with shelf. Don't think i needed boost myself, rather cut ton of mud from the mids. Boosting highs always seems easier and more logical approach to go, but that doesn't fix all problems in the mids. And when you start addressing those problems, vocals as a result become papery thin and brittle. So try fixing mids first before boosting highs, it will sound WAY more natural and pleasant. Mix overall is too dull and mid-range heavy, probably because of that mud in all those other elements. Cheers
