I mixed 9 out of 12 songs on Amy's "Lioness: Hidden Treasures" album at Metropolis Studios in London. I will do a post on the great experience I had working there but today I'm posting about Amy's 1st single "Like Smoke" featuring Nas.
All 9 songs were mixed completely in the box (ITB) with a combination of UAD-2, Waves, Sonnox and Abbey Road/EMI plugins.
I mixed the songs in Studio E monitoring through the SSL K console on multiple monitors such as:
1. Yamaha NS10s
2. Auratone (mono)
3. AE 22 Nearfield Monitors
4. M&K studio monitors
5. PMC mains.
Here are snapshots of the actual plugins used on the vocals for "Like Smoke":
Amy's settings are as follows. The order of the plugins are from top to bottom and these were placed on the insert:
The effects I used on Amy are the following:
I used a combination of both the IR1 and RenVerb to get the reverb sound that was needed for the song.
For her delay I used the stock DigiRack Plugin:
Nas' vocal chain consists of the following plugins. From top to bottom on the inserts:
His effects are as follows:
Same reverbs as Amy but to a much lesser degree.
His delays are:
and for chorus I used a combination of the UAD Dimension D and the same Air Chorus
