I high-passed the kick to tighten it up somewhat. Hopefully that's had a positive effect on the bass also.
Other changes:
- Increased overheads volume by 1.5DB to bring out the excellent hihats work, particularly in the section after the first chorus, but I've countered this with some side-chain compression from the lead vocal, as I thought they were starting to compete a little. It also adds some engaging counter-play between the two parts.
- Used Mike's TTT08 technique to add a touch more ambience to the snare.
