hey pauli. Thx for your feedback and as ever, your thoughtful comments.
I'm glad you like the updated version. I was never happy with vocals in mix 1 - fixed by rectifying a silly mistake that i thought i'd already fixed. The drum buss was me having too much fun with some new gear - and in hindsight, it was swamping the whole mix.
re kick/bass - what you're hearing now is a 2db duck on the bass sidechain triggered by the kick. re compression on drum buss, i only have a 20/80 wet/dry mix of parallel compression to bolster the attack. On individual components I have 2-3db on the kick & snare (2:1 ratio) to smooth levels. i use pretty aggressive HP cuts on my drum verb sends.
Your tips re EQing vocals/backing track will be put to good use
