There are a few timing issues on the kick, reso guitar and strings and a little bit on the vocal so I did a some clean up to make them align better with the beat of the song.
The vocal also has some pitch issue and I did use mild pitch correction at less than 50% strength so it will still allow the natural pitch to come through without sounding like a perfect auto tune that we”dislike” (or I hate)
The reso gitar has some mild pitch correction as well. If I didn’t do this it would be very noticeable since they are presented more forward on both sides of the panoramic-unlike the original mix which are more blended in in the mix.
There is no bass track so to add the missing element I added a little sub bass from the kick with a plugin - Mbassador
plus some more eq to taste.
I push the drum roll in the back of the mix along with a big reverb and plus backing vocal to create a cinematic war feel and I love the result as it gives a deeper layer in the song.
The main vocal has a lot of things going on such as: short delay, doubler, some reverb and a little parallel comp but they still sound pretty natural to my ears and sits firmly against the rest of the instruments.
I ran some automation volume on acc guitar, strings, elec guitar and backing vocal and they are a lot of dynamic eq side chaining to prevent freq masking and for a clearer separations.
At the end I apply a mild dynamic eq, compression, tape and clipper to control the peak level.
Mixed in Studio One
Plugins: EQ, Compressors, Reverb, Delay,Pitch correction,Sub bass from Melda, Eventide H3000 for guitar and vocals, Hornet Tape, True Clip.
Enjoy
