Thanks - very few jazz-oriented mix video's on youtube. Please do more especially since we use the same plugins!

Drumleveler is basically like a voice leveler for the voice of drums :-) I love the plugin. As for Unisum ... beautiful tool. Solid mix and mastering btw

Did you use the lexicon as a global reverb for the rest of the instruments or snare only?
