Full Mix: Kofi Amankwa - Demise

Please visit Kofi Amankwa on Myspace.

This song has been mixed on Pro Tools LE using the Softube FET Compressor and the Passive-Active Pack.

""As I mentioned earlier the FET compressor is my go to plug-in whenever I need to add character to a vocal track. The Active-Passive EQ are great in making things bright without sounding harsh and have been my first choice on vocal busses. Keep up the good work!"

"I personally love the Active on vocals, they have a nice edge to them, but not harsh. The Saturation feature is perfect on busses in making thinks more present. In conjunction with the FET compressor, I am very satisfied with my mixes (so is my client) in making things have a nice analog saturation drive to them.""
