MixedByAli adds presence with the UAD SSL 4000E Channel Strip to push the lead vocal upfront.
This is achieved by boosting 8kHz with the high band and dipping 300Hz with the low-mid band. The high boost uses a bell curve instead of a shelf for a more focused and pronounced effect.
Cutting the lower mids gives the impression of a brighter sound by unmasking the higher frequency components.
To prevent the vocal from becoming too thin, a low-shelf boost around 350Hz is added.
