Soundwise
Great singing! I didn't like SSD4, think these just sound too punchy for this tune. What's the reverb on vocal and did you use a de-esser? If so, which one?
Glad you mentioned the punchy drums because that is exactly what I was going for and the artist loved them.
Vocal Reverb is Relab's LX480 (a tweaked plate setting). Methinks it a classic killer reverb. Some swear by it and some swear at it.
No D-Essers were harmed (or used) in this mix. I did use the Mixbus Vocal Character plug though.
The drums verb is from the Mixbus collection.
