Thank you. For those who are interested, here is what I did.
Drums:
1. Kick and toms were left alone
2. Added a snare sample with more 'pop' to the original snare sound.
3. Sent kick, snare and toms to a stereo buss and compressed them hard
4. HAt: added 6db of high shelf at 6k and -9db of low shelf at 100hz
5. Ride: Added 9db of high shelf at 8k and 3db of 2.5k with a narrow-ish Q
6. Crash, drum rooms 1&2 were left alone
7. Hat, ride, crash and drum room tracks were routed to a buss and compressed
8. Snare and toms had reverb on them that was routed to the drum buss to get compressed with the drums.
Bass:
1. Added 9db high shelf at 2k
2. added 6db of 1k narrow-ish Q
3. added 6db of 2.5k medium Q
4. ran it into a compressor post EQ with between 2 and 4db of reduction.
Guitars:
1. added 3 db high shelf at 8k
2. subtracted 3db of 3k with a narrow Q
3. added 6db of 500hz with a narrow-ish Q
4. added 2.5db of 137hz
5. compressed the guitar buss with fast attack, medium release 3/1. Just to catch the chugs that I brought up with the 137hz boost.
Solo:
1. added 3db high shelf at 6k
2. added 3db of 2k medium Q
3. subtracted 3db 180hz
4. compressed 3/1 medium attack and release with no more than 3db reduction.
Vocals:
1. All vocals were routed to a stereo buss
2. Added 2db high shelf at 8k
3. subtracted 9db of 3k with a wide Q
4. added 3db of 900hz medium Q
5. compressed 4/1 fast attack and release and averaging 6db reduction.
6. Lead vocal has a doubler added to it
7. All vocals routed to a delay set to a half note
8. All vocals routed to a reverb. Harmony vocals have about 5db more send level than the lead and low octave vocal.
"mastering" (using the owrd very loosely)
1. subtract 0.5db 189hz
2. add 1db 6.5k
3. set limiter to get about 2db reduction
That's the whole thing. If I would have had more time to spend, I would have maybe changed the tom samples and added some volume automation to make everything fly right .
