Good idea brother.

My broken record:

Dial the mix limiting / compression back a bit. Generally there's been too much pumping IMHO. It "should" only be used for effect IMHO. This, I'm guessing, has caused you to chase your tail a bit when it comes to getting drums, especially snare, to sit right in the mix. In my experience it tends to bury the snare. Cymbals have exhibited pumping too more often than I'm guessing you'd like.

Also, I'll repeat what I said the other day:

As a general rule, never boost low mids in vocals. This not only tends to sound "amateur", but it ultimately lessens the ability of notes to be perceived clearly in-the-mix 'cause the energy boost means that you're chewing up headroom unnecessarily. Great in solo mode, not-so-great in a mix.

If you stand close to the mic I'd try cutting them.

By the same token, the mid mids ought not be cut if you want notes to "sing through".

Yeah Monkey_Man , put them on the B side of USB.

B side for B grade. Makes sense I s'pose.

Quirky number. Written a few of them myself.

Whenever I hear any of them I wonder what the Hell I'll do with them one day.

... and Safari.

Was it “notey” again? If so then perhaps the solution is cut mids, boost low mids and add a little distortion?

Not as-notey.

IMHO a general rule of thumb in this case might be to back off on mid cuts. The mid mids are more-important than the low mids in this case I reckon.

If you solo the vox, the low-mid boosts might make sense, but in a mix context I don't believe that's what your vox needs.

Micael Britt is my no 1 go to profiler

After that its tie between Bert Meulendijk and Guido Bungenstock.

Ha!

Those 3 are my faves too Brother Alan.

For me, Bert has the edge 'cause he has the most "organic mojo"... IMHO.

Na mate, just what I've always encouraged - that the notes be easily-discernible, which they are this time.

There've been several instances this past month where you've nailed that. Hopefully you'll figure out exactly what it is you did to bing forth this result.

Vox nice and "notey" brother.

Well done!

Dylan was banned so he won't be able to respond.

Here're all the Profiles he posted in the OP mate:

Therefore err on the side of packed brevity rather than long empty.

Especially for just "getting things down".

Quote from breu

I can't believe I'm selling this for 10 bucks myself....

That's 'cause you're an asshole mate.

Quote from alerich

I cannot remember the last time I demoed any profile pack (SLO or otherwise) that had me actually grinning from ear to ear.

Bert delivers, simple as that.

Quote from Per

Maybe Monkey_Man has some suggestions?

Thanks for call-up bro'.

I can't comment on anything bass-related 'cause I lack the facility to hear it right now.

As for the forwardness of the vox, I think it's fine but could use a tiny bit of fairy dust in the form of some subtle delay. Just a slapback or two, mixed right-down so you don't really "hear" it, but moreso sense it gelling with the mix a little more.

That said, it's pretty-damned close already IMHO.

Good job Brian!

Definitely-better Brother Mats.

Lead could still come down a bit but hey, it's an improvement.

The love of money.

A fake death report can get you millions of views.

This one could definitely use a "dry" upfront lead-vox IMHO brother.

Well-done mate.

Brother Davo! Long time no chat my man.

Awesome '80s sound and vibe so mission accomplished it would seem.

Loved seeing the MM bass; I'm a huge fan of them.

Welcome wyo!

What deadman42 and BayouTexan said is good advice IMHO.

Rig Manager is your friend for so many reasons. Just be sure to explore all the search and sorting (clicking columns) features. A typical M.O. might be to narrow the field via the search window and then click an appropriate column to sort.

Bass player here, so... bass players unite!

Quote from deadman42

One of the rather strange side effects of the introduction of the new forum software I guess.

Indeed, some symptoms were experienced by just a handful of members Brother Michael.

This one however, I think I can claim as my own.

I wouldn't mind the lost posts back 'though; at the rate I've posted the past few years, I've lost practically a year's worth.

I have the same issue.

2012 Cheese Grater here running High Sierra.

Looked at Dosdude's stuff and whatnot years ago but it seemed like a bit of a rabbit hole so here I still am.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I must say I was very-disappointed when I saw that my OS won't run the latest Rig Manager iterations anymore.
