Talk To Me Baby RJMIX

agreed this is a time sink mix, particularly the drums. Sounds like you've gone down the same road i did with the kick and replaced it but keep in mind the originals dynamics are quite varied and i'd be careful in just pasting the same velocities throughout, yours loses a lot of its feel and gelling with the rest of the kit to my ears.

lovely control on the Lvocal, why they didn't use the lovely compressors when recording is a little beyond me cause the dynamics are a pig to control. I resorted to a ton of volume automation and rms and peak compression to get it anywhere near yours.
