I just have to start by saying, this song rocks! I had to try my hand at it, and do a quick mix to see what I would come up with.
The thing about songs like this is, they are so well done they practically mix themselves.
I often find myself wondering what should I do, for songs like this and its more likely than not that less is definitely more.
Some bus processing with tape
some compression on the peaks of the electric inserts
combined with some classic guitar spatial fx(echo/delay/chorus ,etc.)
a little gating on a few of the drum tracks
a little distortion on the kick
some automation on the vocals
some effects on the BGVs and Lead DT
and a general reverb to gel the elements
and basically that's it
I didn't do any timing or tuning, and there's some fine tuning and overall housekeeping that needs to be done. So I wouldn't say its done but I think its a decent start.
Cheers!
