EQ to tidy boominess and a widening intro that narrows when the verse arrives.<\/li>\n<li>Hammond and texture: A beautiful Hammond performance from Bob, subtly shaped and widened, plus a small overdub Steve added during mixing.<\/li>\n<li>Guitars with attitude: Ryan\u2019s guitars enhanced with archetype amp sims, CLA compression, widening and automated fuzz layers that bring the choruses alive.<\/li>\n<li>Percussion layers: Shakers, tambourines, bongos and loops arranged to create movement without harshness.<\/li>\n<li>Vocals: A straightforward yet powerful chain of CLA Vocals, Rvox, EQ and saturation, with backing vocals shaped into a smooth halo around the lead.<\/li>\n<li>Horns: The 504 Horns, lightly processed but heavily automated to deliver a dynamic and emotional finale.<\/li>\n<li>Bass choice: A valuable real world moment where Steve explains why some great live bass parts were muted in favour of a tighter MIDI bass to serve the final arrangement.<\/li>\n<li>Drums and mix bus: Slate VMR on drums, added snare sample, room compression, trash mic grit and a mix bus chain that makes the song feel big and modern.<\/li>\n<li>This entire
