What a gem of a track....wasn't expecting to find this little rip roarer buried in the pop section..!
After a stretch of acoustic/instrumental/orchestral mixes it was good to get into something that rocked. Have gone with a fairly aggressive sound...and worked pretty hard to get it sounding punchy WITHOUT using a bucket load of master buss compression....of course I have used some..enough to just move the needle....and i did try to use more but it didn't sound any better when I normalized the volume and did A/B comparisons.....so I just kept nudging those faders
Had no suitable reference tracks to go off so used Mikes mix as a final check....and as a result have gone with a last minute shameless homage to his opening verse with muted guitars (although slightly different).
