With this mix I was drawn to keep the bass line as a major part of the mix. I used the Soundtoys Radiator plugin along with compression to bring that element to the forefront. The Bass guitar has this great picked punk bass sound that really brings the attitude. To match the bass, I rode the drive knob on the Decapitator plugin on the drum buss. This gives the tom drum sections some boom in the low end and helps them stand out during the chorus while everything is competing for space.
Vocal effects were fairly straightforward but I did use Logic’s new Chormaverb plugin from their latest release version. I used a room setting and cut the low end to keep the vocals clear and present. On the mix bus, I used Andrew Scheps’ rear bus technique to keep the guitars present in the mix and still present the drums and bass as the driving force of the song. Enjoy!
