thanks man.... van halen is cool, it's hard to get away from a comparison to that when you play any kind of shuffly rock riff...
the vox, was sung twice, into a AT4033, and thru the same rig as described above for the guitar tracks.
no tricks, just straight up singing...
i punch in verse by verse, so when i hit the GO button, i at least go all the way thru a verse, or chorus, or bridge.
i was more concerned with getting a vibe, than nailing a note or word or riff, so i let some of the pitch issues roll, for the sake of a more honest take.
just my idea of rock and roll. warts and all.

low end down?! heheh, you're the very first guy to say that, but you know, it really is a subjective thing, and i thought it sounded just right when i first mixed it.
i was critical about the high end mastering, i didn't want any ear fatigue, and that's why it's a bit mellow on the 3-5khz like you suggest boosting....

apprecite the kind words
the drummer is a degreed dude, with lots of rock in his soul he did a great job!
i did NOT nail the drum mix, and wished i'd mixed them a lot hotter, and deeper.
but it worked for the heavy guitar mix, and vox.......
i feel the same way about the snare, in retrospect.
wont make the same mistake with the new project.
