This is a damn good A/B video, most of what I watch on YouTube I have to stop watching on my mobile and go to a pair of speakers to hear what's really going on but everything here is translating on my phone just right! Thank you

Great video. One thing I love to use is the Waves Aphex Vintage Exciter - sometimes on just the vocals, often just on the whole mix. It's easy to overdo it but when you dial it in, it can add air without increasing noise.
