I made a 10 mins preview mix of all tracks from my new EP 'Shinan'. Release date is 13th October, 3 days left!! http://www.soundcloud.com/dsompa/shinan

Getafix does it properly and good addition from Franklin. Not so much to add, this is how I'm doing it: Kick & Bass I am using for the kick fabfilter pro-q. I always set a lowcut (shape 48) to ~ 35hz and a highcut (same shape) to ~ 6000hz. And I'm doing the same stuff on the bass. On the bass eq I always set some bells (very slim band) and pull it up to detect the disharmonics. After muting the disharmonic frequencies down a bit with the gain of the bell band. You will hear that the bass sound comes alot smoother. Finally you can add fabfilter saturn (a good setting to start you'll find in the presets calles -> mastering ->bass) and then mess around a bit. The level peaks I leave like -11db bass, -10.5db kick. I'm using a fx bus with sugarbytes turnado in Cubase as send bus for kick and bass to automate beatmanipulation and lowcut / highcut filter.

And I'm routing them into a drums bus for several effects on the drums. Eddie kramer drumchannel from waves is nice for hihats. Waves Drumchannel http://www.waves.com/plugins/eddie-kramer-drum-channel FX & Leads Also here I'm using fabfilter to eq (at least ~ 280hz lowcut), the levels around -15 to -18db, depending on which sound it is. Reverbs are nice for putting a room answer, for example Trueverb or Roomworks from Cubase. With the predelay you set how 'far away' the sound is, from 5ms - 30ms it sounds far away and everything above 30ms will be recognized as delay. Trueverb http://www.waves.com/plugins/trueverb Roomworks https://cdn.tutsplus.com/audio/uploads/legacy/15_thickandcrunchy/add%20roomworks%20to%20group.jpg Very useful to have an fx channel (to use it as send) for a nice delay (Dubstation f.e.) to use it on several channels. http://www.audiodamage.com/effects/product.php?pid=AD006 Before exporting make sure you removed all effects (limiter, compression, mulitband etc) from the master!!!
