In the Master Track:
JS 1175 compressor:
Touch Gain, then go to Param button. Select Parameter Modulation/MIDI Link. Select Gain. Change Offset to -100 and Scale to -56. Now they are automatically tied together.
ReaXcomp:
Click Program Dependent Release on first one, and delete the other three. Then click Add Band twice. Click Solo Current Band and split up the three areas by Lows/Mids/Highs. (Drag the lines under the red circles to do this.)
On 1 and 3, touch Threshold, then Click on Param. Select Parameter Modulation/MIDI Link and link to 2nd Threshold. Bring down Threshold of 2 (which moves all) until happy.
ReaLimit:
Set Brickwall ceiling to -.30
Bring down Threshold looking to cut off only the highest clips.
DRUMS:
Set up a new Virtual Instrument and say Yes to all the outputs.
Pull in Kontakt/60s Drummer. Assign each drum to different channels, starting with Kick at st2.
Delete all tracks after the aux tracks.
Select all the MIDI drums tracks. Right Click and choose Item Properties. Change Item Mix Behavior to Items Always Mix. Pull these tracks into the new Kontack track. Double-click on the Kontakt track to select all of these layers, then right-click on the layers and Glue.
On the Kontakt track, click on the Route button. On each Send, adjust the first volume field to +15 or +20.
Mute st1.
On the Kick, I can use MCompressor with Kick 3 preset and adjust to taste.
On the snare, I can use MEqualizer with Snare Drum preset and adjust to taste.
Create a Reverb track. Click on Route. Add a New Receive for every drum kit track. Use any reverb plugin and set it to 100% wet. Adjust volume to taste.
Bass:
ReaComp:
Adjust to taste.
ReaEQ:
Bring up Lows and clarifying spots in Mid and High.
Duplicate the Bass track and keep all the same plugs. Add BOD to the end of the plug chain. Get a good growly sound out of it. Then adjust the level of the duplicated track to taste. (This brings out some bass clarity in the mix.)
GUITARS:
Add Compression, EQ, and Reverb to taste.
On the reverb, adjust it so the reverb is going to the opposite side of the stereo track.
Saving the CPU Processing:
Any track can be set to FREEZE by right-clicking on the track, then selecting Freeze Track to Mono or Stereo (whichever it is). This will apply all effects to a wave file, and remove those effects from the FX bin. This can be undone at any time by right-clicking again and selecting UNFREEZE.
