hey very cool everyone huge thank you for listening/feedback. invaluable stuff as few days back my ears were shot and had no idea on mix lol -
AIC comparisons are great ;) think it's more default limitation of being baritone singer and loving harmony layering in general. i can't really go full throttle above F in middle C without doing falsetto so when tracking the high harmonies eg 5th-dominant ill sing it an octave lower so the highest harmony is actually the lowest note eg sing '1-3-5' triad as '5-1-3' second inversion, the 5th being the lowest note and also strongest/barritone speaking and your brain gets fooled that it's the root melody when it's the dominant 5 - This is how Jerry Cantrell / Layne arranged a lot of signature AIC
also guitar FX is simply hard panning tremolo I/0 setting delay to exact metronome 1/16th dotted (Logic Pro 9)
