Hey marc! I would probably agree it's a little too bright. I was sort of thinking of that new nashville thing, where its bright and punchy and pretty compressed etc... Felt like thats what they were going for in the studio, given the sound of the drums and that everything was printed with a fair bit of compression. Which I also think may be the reason you thought it didn't sound that compressed despite the waveform looking squashed... I feel like if everything is tracked with a decent amount of compression it makes it easier to get it louder and sounding more natural.

All in all though I probably got a little carried away on the master buss on this one, after taking a glance at the session just now.

Cheers!
