EQ TECHNIQUE
1The song and the vocals was what producers wanted and perhaps that hasn’t changed much. Bands were recorded with live vocals back then. Even overdubs were a band thing. Much of the signature of both the British or American sound were the vocal harmonies. Same today
Rather than try to do all your compression while recording vocals, save some for the mix. This takes a little pressure off of finding the “ultimate” compressor with perfect settings and you have the option of compressing the vocals as a group
Loops The trick? Make the bad stuff sound good and the good stuff sound bad. Put it all together and go nuts with the mute switches. For that ol’ telephone filter, first try the two mid bands with deep shelf cuts. You might expect to just use the filters but these ones probably neither go high enough nor low enough for this purpose so use them in combination with those deep shelves

TROUBLE-SHOOTING
GETTING DISTORTION WHEN WE BOOST A LOT. No doubt. The Mini Massive by itself should have enough headroom so that mega-boostswont cause clipping in it, however, it can push out about +30dBv, 6 or 8 dB more than most gear can accept without clipping. Youre gonna have to turn something down, whether it is the signal feeding the EQ, the Gain Trims on the EQs front panel or the input levels of the next piece. That last option may not help if there is any op-ampsbefore its own volume control and unfortunately that is pretty common
