been jammin to this for a while now - I can't help but notice how HUGE the vocals sound. I mean on the chorus it doesn't strike me as unusual but on the verses... am I tripping or does this sound weird? it's not even a matter of "oh look how crystal it sounds, she's JUST next to my ear" like most mainstream mixes. it's just big. tf is this?
is this shit normal? (vocal texture/mixing)

Multiple takes with takes panned hard left and hard right, group together on a stereo bus and remove some of the mid with a little boost on the sides then mixed under the main take, add some reverb, makes a vocal sound big. They need to be different takes, because no 2 takes are exactly the same, othereise there is phasing issues. I think there may be vsts that can make one take into harmonically pleasing variations by now.
ahh that's informative as hell ty. this post was originally written as a message to you, then I realized the mix feels different in general so I thought I'm either trippin or it might actually be an interesting topic. cuz the entire approach feels different than what I'm used to in this genre & era.
Cubase has a way to make different takes all sit perfectly in time with a chosen take, one of the reasons I use Cubase.
