Being that this is a Work In Progress now is the time to elucidate.
I'm interested in how & why as it may help me.
if I was mixing it I'd firstly have the vocals loud enough to be able to hear the words. It seems pointless to write lyrics that can't be heard and as it is the vocals could be replaced by vocables and it wouldn't matter. I'd also mostly be increasing the gains on the lead guitars and some other instruments, .
Thanks,
yes vocals. Historically you'll find I bury my vocals - simply because they aren't really good enough. Secondly the era & style of music is one that has many examples of pointlessly writing lyrics to be buried and later discovered by a listener who wants to find them - or to imagine them.
GAIN is a difficult discussion as few have a common understanding of it. If you mean the relative volume/level of instruments then I can understand that & if you mean gain/drive I can understand that as well. Yes taste, experience, preference and hearing ability all come into the equation.

Yes, I did mean the relative volume/level of instruments.
