My biggest struggle for this one were the vocals coming with very different volumes, which I had to fix, and also their muddiness. I decided to push them towards the 6khz and temper the lower side. I didn't manage to blend them very well with the rest of the music.
For the guitars I made a duplicate channel with only the 'chuggy' part of the spectrum so I could keep control over it all through different modifications and enhance the dynamics. I also used mid side compression to carve a place for the vocals to sit in and widen up the stereo.
For the drums, I mostly cleaned stuff, the toms especially were sounding strange. There was a lot of bleeding in all chanels so I mostly used gates, or compressors to get rid of that, when I didn't delete track sections by myself (toms).
For side chain compression, the kick slices the bass, the kick+snare slice the guitars, and the vocals slice the guitars too.
I wasn't too happy until I apply parallel comp on the master bas and then magic happened.
I still think the vocals don't blend well, there's like a constant bar of mids without dynamics hidden in the spectrum, and also the cymbals are making a bit mess of a sound that I couldn't tame. well...
