Children Of No One - my take

[davemcg61]

Here's an alternate mix done yesterday. EQ and compressor choices were done to almost every track, the least was done to the synth pads at the start. Only the EQ was modified on the vocal tracks to get some harsh peaks under control. I think the overall tone of the drums, guitars and bass are far better and much clearer than they were. At mastering, there's the NI Passive EQ in Mid-Side mode creating a wider mix, and the VariComp instead of the stock Logic multi-band compressor originally used. The directional mix is turned off compared to the previous setting that added 25% greater width. The limiter which had been set to +4.5dB is now down to +1.5dB, and its still louder than before. Any thoughts are appreciated as always.
