Updated Mix: Loud and Clear V3

[pauli]

It sounds to me like the vox are really fighting against the music,it all sounds a bit out of control with not much definition to anything if you get me.

Yeah, I agree entirely. It's a great song and the tracking is really nice, but it's not an easy mix if you want to use all the vocal mics. Controlling the dynamics across all those doubletracks is really hard and EQ is effectively useless if the dynamics aren't properly controlled.

It seems to me like the electric guitars are making it really hard to get the vocals right... there's probably a lot of automation needed to keep the guitars under control and bring out the piano licks, and Juan makes a good point in that the vocals would work a lot better if I tightened up the timing.

Thanks for your comments, guys. I've learned a lot from mixing these tracks, so it's done for me for a little while. We've had lots of good discussion with this one.
