We are on the homeward stretch! In this video I will do my final mix, based on mix notes from my listening today.

Here's a look at all the notes I go through:
 - Vocals (Lead) - "It's for the birds" - chorus double is too loud - drop volume
 - Lead Guitar - muted notes in verses too loud - automate volume down
 - Percussion - too loud in first chorus
 - Vocals (Backing) - the "oooh" on the left side pokes out in the second chorus - automate down
 - Vocals (Lead) - Push alternate lines to the left and right by about 20% to create a stereo panning effect
 - Vocals (Backing - For the Birds) - final "birds" - reduce intensity of the delay and repeats
 - Piano - add some reverb to glue in the track
 - Vocals (Lead) - still a little too "crispy" - need to tame the treble slightly with EQ, or reduce drive/compression
 - Vocals (Lead) - add some reverb (master) to add some texture
 - Vocals (Lead) - "Denying every single fact…" line is quieter than other - automate/clip gain up
 - Vocals (Lead) - Bridge 1/4 note delay is a little too intense - darken the colour, potentially add some reverb
