Almost there!
They're just a little too far forward now. It wasn't that I couldn't hear them; they were already at a perfect level before. I just felt that they needed to sound brighter.The EQ settings I used on them were: -5 dB @ 80 Hz, +6.5 dB @ 5 kHz, +3.5 dB at 12 kHz. I also applied a high pass filter at 76 Hz. This is more aggressive EQ than I usually use on vocals but in the case of these they needed it; they sound rather muddy and dull, and they really benefit from this nice presence and air boost.
So I think if you dial them back to the level they were before and try those settings, or use them as an inspiration for your own, you'll get a much better tone out of them.
