I tend to reach for that more than additive EQ moves. I use the Ozone 8 Exciter on keyboards to balance out the frequency spectrum all the time.

I have a kick and snare preset on Neutron that I use to get the proper sustain of the kick by saturating with the exciter followed by a transient shaper as well.

This is true on every track on the album. I use the Exciter on Neutron after reverbs a lot too, to bring out the character in the verb. Ozone 8 is on the mix bus doing some subtle spreading in the mids and highs, subtle multi-band exciter, slight maximization and a little dynamic EQ in the upper bass area, then I finish off the mix bus with the vintage limiter. this next project is going to be really special for me so. Khalid teased the release of his 3rd full-length project via Twitter. I tend to use the Exciter in all different modes (mostly the warm mode though) to saturate, then used the transient shaper post saturation to make up for lost transients. We will update this tracklist as more information comes to light.
