The reverb vocals in the chorus - was that doubles and panned and little? It seems to have a very pleasing stereo width. What's your take on getting backing vocals to sound FM radio wide? RJ

@prettyboywebb i only put Tracks on (in a session) if an artist is only doing one song with me. if they are doing a collection of songs with me, i apply T-racks on to all of the tracks outside of logic, so they all have the same similar sound to one another. as for vocals.. i did not apply any T-Racks effects.

Sometimes i use the T-Racks EQ and Compression, and use an L2 by Waves for the limiter.. it all depends on the sound. each song can sound better or worse with different plugins.

did u put the T-racks on the beat and the vocals? did u put it on the master fader so it effects everything

I mix and produce and you actually did pretty good job explaining things
