This track is so nice to hear and i am grateful to have mixed this.
-1.1 Peak level, no Limiter
Here’s how I approached the mix.
I recently Subscribed to Slate Virtual Mix Rack so I went with it on this mix. I am not happy with the Noise VBC Rack compressors induce I might fight alternates.
Mix Bus:
Pro Q 3 with low shelf boost by 1 db with dynamic compression of -2 db to give the mix glue and bounce.
Drums Bus: Pro Q 3: Dynamic boost at 35Hz and high shelve boost of 1.5 db with dynamic cut of 3 dB.
I like how my eq bounces also it gives drums glue compression while expanding kick.
Virtual Mix Rack: Transformer, and FG stress with 3:1 compression.
Native Instrument super changer compressor for punch blended only 40%
Kick:
Pro Q: cut at 200 hz by 8 dB and boost at 6k by 2.3 db.
Soundtoys SieQ high knob set to -12 to reduce drum leaks.
pro Q: boost at 78 by 3 db, cut at 470 by 3 db, dynamic upward compression at 6k.
Bitter sweet Transient Designer for extra click.
TDR Kotelnikov subtle limiting by 1 to 2 db. It has this sort of packed effect which blends all previous processing.
Snare Bus:
Snare bottom is phase flipped and there is no other processing on individual tracks. Snare bus however, has high cut at 118 hz.
Virtual Mix Rack: FG-S EQ 3 db cute at 6 hz, 2 db cut at 330 hz, 235hz 5 db boost, 2 db boost at 10 k, VCC channel, FG-N EQ -5db at 551, 2 db boost at 2.5k, FG-S narrow cut at 7k bu 1.6 db, FG Stress subtle compressor of 2:1, Revival shimmer boost by 6.80, -1.25 db overall trim.
Saturn: only above 660hz warm transformer 60% wet.
Hi hat: Pro Q 3 and RoughRider Comp to tame harsh peaks.
Toms:
Toms were really fun to mix, ProQ, LowCut at 30hz and 4db dip at 372, SieQ: 700 hz 2 db cut, Low boost by 7db, Virtual Mix Rack: Brit N Transformer. Pro Q 3 480hz cut by 7 db.
ShapeShifter by aberrent dsp to bring out more punch in toms and reduce boxiness then transient shaper. Same processing on 2nd tom with reagate but different EQ cuts and no transient shaper as I am using Revival. Overheads Bus: FG-Neve and Revival with VBC Compressor, Only eq on single channels.

Virtual mix rack: Brik 4k Transformer, FG- S 240 boost by 1 db, FG stress 4:1 compressionby 2 to 3 db, Thickness by revival Idea is to fill low mids where bass isnt prominent. ProQ 3 side chain dynamic eq against vocals.
NI solid bus compressor by 3:1, 50% active slow attack fast release and Voxengo sample delay by 0.2 db for depth.
Sable Guitar 02: Saturn Clean tube style 10%, Pro q 3 Gentle cuts,
FG-N 400 cut by 0.5 db, boost at 3.4k by 1 db, FG stress 2:1 subtle fast compression, and revival thickness and shimmer.
