You caught me.. I pretty much didn't do anything to the back vox other than group them together and put a HP filter on them for clarity. I now have to go back to mix them more to the center for more clarity as well as compression on several tracks for a more stable dynamic.
When I say analog I mean the Analog consoles. Analog consoles tend to have a more darker (mid exciting) quality to their Gains than a digital. Digital mixers usually have a very crisp and clean gain. Vinyl reproduces an analog signal and it also adds a type of texture when played back. There are some vinyl emulation plugins that produce that analog sound but I was just referring to a warm tone in the mix.
About the intro I tried more volume at first but the volume as it is now was more efficient in my opinion. I'm not keeping track of which guitar is 1 or 2.. but I assume you are talking about the acoustic ones on left and right. I mainly took them as rhythm driver the main one for me was the distortion guitar. That's why maybe you perceive them as less energetic.
For the bass I used the DI track.. and one of the Mic tracks just to give it a more fuller sound on the subs.. the main one was the DI. I just thought a clean Bass sound was for effective to make better distiction between my kick, toms and Rhodes which live in the center of the mix.
Thanks for your comment I appreciate the feedback. Now I'm gonna go back to the mix and fix those Back Vox because the truth is I didn't think people would notice but you did.
