I've recently noticed the corollary to this: high end has been rolled off of other instruments to make room for the vocal. I just got a Presonus Central Station, so I was able to hook up my SACD player again. (It's been in mothballs since my digital console passed the aux inputs through AD/DA.) Listening to Billy Joel, Peter Gabriel and the Police on SACD, I noticed that there wasn't a lot of high-end presence coming off of the guitars and keyboards, which made the vocal that much more intelligible. I've always added high freqs to make something more "pretty," but the mix may be better served to leave some things dull and add that fary dust to the vocal instead. Something to ponder in my next mix...
