Thanks for the replies folks!
Here's an update. (There's a limiter on the stereo bus for volume's sake. I didn't max anything out so don't think it damages the mix but let me know if you hear any denigration to the sound... minus what you're hearing from the mp3 compression rate.)
Made a lot of changes.
-re-EQed the GUITARS and managed the spring reverb sections a little better (took out some of the cloudiness). During the intro bars I put a rBass plugin slightly emphasizing 73hz on the guitar and automated it out once the song kicked in. This just added a more body in the spot where there was no other music to compete with, and then the body dropps out when 10 more guitars are added (ha). Oh! and I made that into stereo track by making a duplicate and bumping one back a few milliseconds and bumping the other forward a few milliseconds and hard panning each track.
- Mixed the MAIN VOCALS again using both a large hall reverb with long pre-delay (can't remember exactly how many ms) time and a mixed in swirling stereo delay. I still think that there's a frequency I can't zero in on that has to be pulled out a little.
- BACKUPS are pulled down and adjusted as much as I could stand to deal with them.
- RHODES piano was turned into a stereo track and widened and has a different reverb setup.
- Tweaked the DRUMS. This includes, remixing in the snare and modulating the snare, adding more overall 'boom' to the kick and emphasizing it in the two kick drum breaks earlier in the track with an EQed reverb with a 36ms predelay. This gave it a lot of depth and space to hear when the guitars dropped out. Plus a number of other eq and compression tweaks to the kit.
- Added automation where I thought little nuances should be exploited.
Comments welcome.
Enjoy! (320kbps)
