I am really fascinated with the vocals on borderline, how big of a difference does vocal performance make. Also how did you make her vocals sound so airy or does this come in the performance brandy did. Ps. This is one of my fav mixes ---

Vocal performance is _everything_. The original recording chain is everything. We can only do so much on the mixing side, the right treatment from the artist and tracking engineer will really set that vibe from the jump ---

Thanks so much for this information as i didn’t realise how much the artist, tracking engineer and recording chain play a significant part of the record. P.S. Thanks for being one of the best engineers and still managing to share valuable gems, we need another masterclass or seminar very soon.
