It's also the Old Skool Verb that I reckon is probably distancing the vocal for me too. If you want some warmth and spread to the vocal without pulling it too far backward, then I'd probably try a plate with some predelay -- maybe an eighth-note. [...]
Also noticed your 4% off-centre panning of the lead vocal. Intentional?
Ouch... a reverb send on the bass buss... why didn't I see that? Who placed it there in the first place? And why didn't I hear that, blaring at -42 dB...?
No, really, I am impressed. I would concede the possibility that the reverb send makes an extremely subtle difference on the bass when I solo the bass and the reverb return. But I would never have spotted it in the mix! Where did you get those ears from?!
Anyway, apologies for missing that.
You are right, that same reverb is what pulls the vocal back. I'll fix it one way or another.
The vocal's panning of 4% to the right was intentional (not so sure about the reverb send on the bass), to counterbalance the guitar, which lives on the left.
Thanks for further enhancing my todo list :-)
