Controlled caroling!

It was as a choirboy that I first tasted hot orange squash which was given out to us at the end of a cold nights caroling. In my home orange squash was seen as a luxury and a tooth decayer so it never appeared on the menu although my mother and father were great lovers of a glass of mulled wine!

Nice brass instruments. :) So is that the children’s choir or someone with a great falsetto? And I like the dialled back energy - is that the Izotope kicking in?

The LibriVox track is an adult male and adult female singer. The upper range is the female voice.

Quote: And I like the dialed back energy - is that the Izotope kicking in?

The Izotope RX Reblanacing process was used to diminish the musical accompaniment in the LibriVox track.

Several factors helped make the track feel laid back.
- the use of a plugin to model the WA-2A Leveling Amplifier. Optical compression can reduce the energy level to produce laid back results.
- your voice, bass and piano play slightly behind the beat, at least least until the drums come in and the piano is more on the beat.
- the big reverb flugelhorn riffs push the energy level down.
- keeping the loudness around an Integrated -15.5 LUFs.
