And a Pultec type eq bass - thanks Don
Also treated drum overheads with a compander kinda thing from the Yamaha mixer, it did wonders for the cymbals I think.
Old ears, old gear, little boy inside love music and sounds and my wife, not necessarily in that order

Great work with both mixes, quite contrasting.
For me and my ears Niels, I think I like the first mix is preferable. I like the sparse arrangement which naturally gives a nice focus to the vocal performance. I also like the smoother and more relaxed sound. Nicely managed.
In comparison the second mix feels a bit tight and squared up maybe too percussive. Like it's compressor driven. As I said, quite contrasting.
Just my thoughts. Thanks for the enjoyable listen.
