So I added a marimba part, very discrete, to emphasis 1 + 2and selected places.
Also rode the chorus vocal as it needed help in places ...
Thought Id post a detailed info on what I did:
Kick: +3dB 80 Hz q: 2.6 380Hz dip 3 dB Q0.71
Toms +3dB 100 Hz dip 1.5 dB 390 Hz q2.6
Bussed through fairchild and saturation. snare bus with UA 1176 1:4. Kick and a little snare ran through a 1:20 1176 takin 5-7 dB out and added to taste to drum bus.
Bas: dip 80Hz 3 dB q_ 5,6 low shelf dip 2.5 dB 80Hz 1176 1:20 tamin transients.
Sendin to bus with bas amp, blende under bus with saturation and UAD fairchild, takin 1 dB or so
Synth pad 1 (rythmic one) Locut 75hz dip 5.5 dB 166 Hz q 9.6 +2.5 dB 415 Hz q 3.6 dip -3 dB 2500 Hz q 4.3 hi cut 14.600 Hz
Pad 2 /The actual pad :-)) locut 100 Hz +3dB 166Hz q 2.1 dip 2.5 dB 440 hz q0.71 + 4.5 db 2500 Hz q 1.5
Synth fuzz ( pad 2 i think) what actually differs my vision from others ive heard, for me a depeche mode kinda sound, I tried to emphasize this way:
lo cut 415 hz dip - 3.5 db 200Hz q 0.98 +3 dB 6000 Hz 1 1.1 hi shelf 10.000 hz + 1.5 dB hi cut 13400 Hz
Synth Fx (vocoder) locut 18 dB 170 Hz dip - 2.5 dB 250 Hz dip 3 dB 680Hz q 7.8 +3.5 dB 4600 Hz q 0.71 locut 14800 Hz 18 dB, SL LMC-1 and UA 1176
guitars: locut and on buscompression with 4dB boost 1200 Hz and 2.7 dB boost 315 Hz
Lead gutar ran through LA 2 A and had locut deeper, to make it more present
Vocal verse: spitfish deesser
eq: lo cut 184 Hz lo shelf -1dB 300 Hz - 0.5 dB 200Hz q: 1.2- 4.5 dB 500 Hz q 0.75 + 3dB 3000 Hz q 0.71
UA LA 2a set to limit, UA 1176 b 1:4 Pultec eq male voice trimmed preset delay 176 ms locut 320 hicut 5300
Chorus: I chose the one I liked the best as main and ran the other through Yamaha pithfix, logic eq to thin it, then comp and Vacumsound ADT
The version I chose for lead hadyamaha pitchfix and same treatment as lead vocal, and a trick from Dave Pensado added:
R delay 1/8: 240 ms and slightly pitched up, L delay 1/8 minus 1/64 210ms and slightly pitched down.
guitars and other parts not mentioned were lowcut with 6 dB filters.
Marinmba part automated volume and hicut to take focus from it, only wanted to emphasize a couple o places.
I made an extra guitar track and double tracked the chorus vocal where he sings: English actor, sounded more like the double tracked chorus vocals.
now is the question do I have too much drum :-)
By the way, a snare hit got lost durin mixin, its there but didnt make it to the 2 track file for some reason. If you cant hear it Im glad, if it sticks out (or actually the opoosite) let me know !

Old ears, old gear, little boy inside love music and sounds and my wife, not necessarily in that order
