Hi guys,
Very engaging live recording, a joy to mix despite the problems with the spill.
Considering the material, I went for a live sound and tried to make it larger than life. I used Proximity to play around with the positioning of the tracks, doubling the guitar and other elements. I had to go easy because the voice was present in many tracks, but it worked fine as a voice chorus widening the voices.
That was pretty much it. Most of the treatment was done on the mix bus to mess around as less as possible. Eq, compression, saturation, de-essing and dynamic eq. A lot of automation in several places too.
Actually, I added a raw copy of the voices over the whole track with some compression and a little echo to blend with the background, to make up for the widening of the voice combined with the verb and echo. It keeps the voices focused in mono while the verb sounds big on the sides.
