Hi!
Thanks very much!
I am sorry for the late reply ...
The drums: noc special treatment. EQ and Compressors (Pro Tools Compressor) on the single Instruments, also a combination of doubler, room, short plate, long plate - the amount varies from channel to channel.
The Drum Bus has a Waves C6 Multiband Compressor on it. And Waves Center is adding 2dB to the Side Channels.
The Backing vocals also have per channel: EQ on them (I like the fabfilter Pro Q2 2 very much!!), Pro Tools Compressor and in this case a Waves Kramer PIE Compressor. Room and Short Plate. I EQed the Backing Vocals to be warm and fresh, but to leave room in the mids for the Lead Vocal.
Thanks again, hope the answer is still of any use. Best regards!
