What Have You Done - Combrains mix - combrains - 21-02-2021

First cut at this track.  The vocals will need some automation on them to balance them in spots - especially in the final chorus.  Same could be said for the vocal reverb in places too.

Ideally I would like to replace the kick and snare with samples to clean them up a bit - but I don't have that ability right now (i.e no plugs or sample packs).  

I initially tried to gate the kick and snare to try and clean them up a bit, but there was so much bleed that I left them be with just a bit of compression and EQ.  
I also removed everything from the tom tracks except for the one lone tom hit towards the beginning of the track.  I also left out the hihat track - there was so much bleed that it just wasn't needed.  I may add it back in spots like the breakdown - see how I feel.

The bridge and final chorus got a bit busy, so I left out a couple of the vocal lines

As always, feedback, critique, comments, criticism is always appreciated

[Update]
Added V4 with vocal and reverb tweaks
