❍ 00:01:31
The lead guitar on track 6 and the lead vocal on track 14 have been brought back
down to their “normal” levels.
The organ level is also returned to normal.
❍ 00:01:39
The level of the male chorus track (13) is boosted a bit here because for the next
couple of phrases the male chorus doubles with the lead vocalist while the
female chorus provides “0oh” type support.
❍ 00:01:53
Male chorus brought back down to normal chorus level.
❍ 00:2:13
Once again, the lead vocal (14) and lead guitar (6) are boosted a bit for the
bridge.
The organ drops out a bit to leave room for the denser arrangement of the bridge
section.
❍ 00:02:36
The level of the lead vocal track is briefly lowered just a bit to soften the impact
of the very high notes.
❍ 00:02:47
Another brief dip in the lead vocal level to even out the dynamics.
❍ 00:02:57
Track 13 is boosted in preparation for the male rap part on the outro.
Track 3 contains the electronic drum part used on the outro, so this track is also
boosted.
The strings tracks (9 and 10) play an important role on the outro, so they are
boosted as well.
The level of the lead vocal track is reduced to move it more into the background.
❍ 00:02:58
The pan automation on the rap track (13) begins here. Note that the rap part pans
alternately to the left and right for each phrase, and to the center for the final
phrase.
❍ 00:03:33
Fade out.
