Fall dance mix 2011

The bass has been split into two tracks. Both of which have been passed through a Waves Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter to give warmth and Waves MaxxBass to give it more volume. The guitar amp has been EQ'd using Voxengo GlissEQ to sit more tightly in the mix.
The initial bass upto 3:00 has been sent through a solid Waves GTR solid state amp to give it a more warm feel. The latter part though an Wave GTR inferno distortion to match the energy of the vocals. The effect is subtle but noticeable.

The transients in the vocals have been manually compressed a bit to reduce dynamic range and various effects have been applied. Gating to remove background noises, compression, EQ using Voxengo GlissEQ and a cascaded Sonalksis SV-517Mk2 compressor has been added to improve warmth and reduce a bit of low end as well as some mid frequencies. The first 35 seconds of the intro has been EQ'd a bit differently to bring out the lyrics. The vocals have also been sent to an Ik-Multimedia CSR Hall convolution reverb as well as a subtle analog delay. The vocal reverb is panned opposite to the actual vocals to expand the stereo image. Care has been taken so the dynamic range of the vocals has not been completely reduced, as that 
would make the vocals a bit lifeless. I considered using a limiter for the vocals, but preferred to 
manually alter the vocal range since the dynamics were important. 

The lead guitar has been sent through a chorus, a Brainworx stereo maker to give it more room and EQ'd. 

The drums have been EQ'd, the snare fattened and a bit of reverb added to all the reverb units.
The bass has also been sidechain compressed by the kick using the Studio One 2.5 compressor. The snare had some very high transients, so a Fabfilter Pro-L limiter was added with lookahead to smash those down instead of reducing the whole mix. 

The entire mix has been mastered through a Waves Solid State Logic Compressor, a Sonalksis SV 517 Mk2 EQ to increase the highs and lows of the mix. Then a Brainworx bx_digital 2 unit has been added which mono's frequencies below 300 Hz so they center in the mix more. The bx_digital also widens the stereo of the remaining frequencies. A brickwall limiter using Fabfilter Pro-L has been used to bring more volume to the mix and finally a Sonalksis SV-315Mk2 cascaded compressor has been used lightly to finish the mix.

I wanted to emulate a studio performance, and the convolution reverb and panning were designed to simulate such an effect. The RMS of the left and right are -12 DB with a peak of -2 DB. I considered reducing the dynamic range, but felt it was necessary due to the genre and type of song. Although the peak tends to come through close to 0dB, they're mostly transients. I kept the large dynamic range since I wanted it to sound more like an 80's rock song, where that was prevalent.

Volume information:
Pk R: - 0.3 dB, Pk L : - 0.7 dB
RMS R: -13.5 dB, RMS L: -14.6 dB
