O.K., anyone who thinks this wouldn't be a challenge was wrong....lol. This song just kept me at the computer working on it and working on it. I really wanted to make the vocal crisp and up front but I'm not a fan of mic noises, clicks, pops, overly noticeable sibliance, ambient noises on tracks, etc. These tracks were nice but did have a lot of stuff that had to be cleaned up. And, like some of you, I used manual automation and manipulation (but also used some plugins) on the lead vocal. I understand that on professional vocals they may spend a week working on them! At least I read that somewhere, can remember where. Trying to compete with pro mixes is a hard darned thing, is it not? Anyway, I hope my hard work payed off. I'm happy with this mix and I hope ya'll are too. Feedback always welcomed.
