Me and a friend doing a song I finally got around to reworking some nuance parts that I remembered I always wanted to change. Any/all comments welcome.

I think the main vocal is a tad hot. Might be the way you want it, but I am thinking it could get pulled back a dB or two. I didn't hear anything bad in the song mix.
Hope the feedback helps.

I am in similar frame of thought. The issue is the in/out of the music bed makes it hot then buried - then hot - then buried. I'm playing w/ several factors at the moment ... trying to gain pinpoint clarity.

You can accomplish this by automating the mix - I noticed what you are talking about - the vocal goes underneath - BTW the tone and timbre of the vocals have a McCartney like Quality to them to me.

Yeah - they're 3db too loud in the quiet passages but when I roll the track back down, they wind up diving under the chorus vocals too far. It's not hard to automate it. I'm just wondering if I can maybe get away with a different technique by separating the parts on different tracks etc ...
Thanks for the thoughts P!!

Depending on your DAW, I have been splitting the vocal track and raising or lowering the section to get my levels right, then using the fades for final adjustment/level of the track. I think it helps by using less compression and not using automation. I don't know why, but it seems automation is such a PITA while a work is in progress.
I wouldn't say my approach is the best, but it seems from a workflow it helps me at least. Makes final mixing less complicated.
