Maybe the sinistah´s Plutonium Bundle will can solve it for you, and I guess it is the final solution, maybe even for you both :D

the best way to get a higher volume sound is to let the high end stand out, let the mid range lack just a tad and bass and high end blasted, that'll give you a shitty loud mix

Sorry, I'd have to disagree.
Humans are most sensitive to the high mids, so if you want your mix to be perceived as loud then use alot of high mids in your mix rather than highs and lows. But be carefull with the high mids, a tad too much can make your mix sound harsh.

aiight back to reality, Eck is correct, too much high end doesn't harm my ears as much as the high-mids do, i can tolerate frequencies in the high range, but when the high-mids are too loud, my ears throb and sound gets muffled.....

i tried this with a vocal track, and just boosted different frequencies with a multiband EQ............
 
Has anyone noticed the mixes that seem to stand up to the most amount of limiting/clipping are the ones that don't have much low mids and low end? (and obviously they were tracked very well also)
Just an observation.

hmmm didnt really pay too much attention to this, but it seems logical, being that most low end things are more "bassy" maybe the lack of the bass shuts off the extra noise that causes the deepness of it when you "up" the dB's in the frequency range leaving a bit more room to play around with the overall volume "uppage"

come to think of it, well i only have one session file that wasn't damaged by a virus, so i usually play around with it alot....but i think i may have noticed this while trying to sharpen up on my EQ'ing, of course leaving a bit of headroom between the mixing processes and great tracking is a plus.....

that's because the low end eats up the most headroom in the mix

as you start chomping up headroom with a limiter, the 1st victim is going to be the big peaks - kick, snare, and whatever else has sharp transients. the 2nd victim in line will be the low end.
