For the snare, I boosted 200Hz for the body and around 2kHz for the crack. Both the kick and snare had 2 tracks, so each of them got their own bus to mix the tracks together. Both drums were compressed a bit on the individual tracks, and then the more heavy compression was done on the busses. Also, the snare and the toms were sent to a gated reverb that was very bright.<\/p>\n<p>The bass guitar EQ boosted the low frequencies\u00a0slightly and boosted some mids (to give it some &#8220;bass treble&#8221;), as well as compressed it heavily. For the\u00a02 guitars, I panned them left and right. I split the &#8220;lead&#8221; guitar (which plays both lead sections and rhythm) into two tracks for lead and rhythm. The lead track is panned less to the left than its rhythm split.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When beginning the mix for this song, I tried to keep in mind the fact that it is a more mellow song with a slower tempo, and tried to make the tone of the song fit that idea.
