Track 8: Piano
We’ll use some EQ to “thin out” the piano sound a bit, and give it a touch more
presence so that it will come through in the mix a bit more.

Tracks 9 & 10: Strings
If we’d recorded real strings we might have needed a bit of processing here, but
since this is pretty-much a “pre-processed” synth string patch, we can leave it
alone.

Tracks 11 & 12: Female Chorus 1 & 2
Processing to make a chorus “blend” well can be tricky, but in general you’ll just
have to rely on you ears. In this case we’ve used high-pass filtering to remove
rumble from the studio and other low-frequency noise that can lead to unclear
overall sound. Some midrange has been removed to prevent the chorus from get-
ting in the way of the lead vocal, and a touch of high-end presence has been
added to help the voices cut through. Compression also helps to achieve a tighter
chorus blend by smoothing out dynamic variations.
