Though On a Way

I mixed in the box using Pro Tools 9 and mainly Waves Platinium 9 bundle. 
My main purpose was to keep the live groove of the band. Because they have played very good in my opinion. Thats why I left the applause and the guitar pot noise  in the beginning. Knowing the recording is live and this is like a classical rock song, I tried to give some room ambience to the general sound of the band mainly on drums. As the vocal has nice texture and detail on low dynamics and high dynamics I tried to show keep it with clarity just a little bit of Soundtoys decapitator and CLA 1176 pushed hard on a paralel vox channel. I liked her breath so I get a nice air which I captured by q-clone.
The guitars are moving in order to make most of the stereo image and spreaded in the chorus. I put the overheads to a studio room reverb from Altiverb and used 3-4 different mic positions from the same room, used on guitars spread to the other side,  a little on vox and more on drums with CLA 1176 smashed. I tried to keep the track dynamic but vox was hard to handle with paralel comp so did some level automation as well. Used a lot of different delay times for particular places with Echoboy (slap (16th, 32dot), 16dot and 8th dot on chorus. I Used also plate and a tiny bit of Sonnox Hall preset that Fab called as Fab'ulous in a Puremix video. Gave obvious slap effect from Kramer tape delay on vox on bridge to give excitement before chorus but I think it could get wider as well. Automate the reverb at the end of the bridge while Liz is going higher. For dynamics I used some paralel channels on drums and made a sample of snare from OH channel to have the top crack and another paralel for body. For kick paralel channels: kick original, click track, and sub track.

Thank you for listening!
