one of the challenges i've had with this mix, is getting the vocal right. she's missing treble in the tracking and it greatly affects her diction and probably doesn't help with the nasality problem which predominates. i found the UAD precision enhancer kHz helpful, for example. but we also need to watch out for the room she's been tracked in, it's far less than ideal. because of the extreme dynamic in her vocal, the room starts to come out strongly under compression, countering/contradicting the ambiance and placement of the other instruments. if i recall, i ended up using 3 different compressors on her (and a limiter!), but each contributed something individually to the task of control and sound shaping which i felt was needed.
