I'd forgotten all about it actually! The hi-hats are probably the main giveaway. I tried my best, however the original hi-pattern is insane. I was kind of hoping no one would notice. I remember now that also I spent a lot of time chopping and moving the guitar parts about to get them tight too, especially the sections around the 1:50, and 2:30 mark.
You are probably right regarding the snare. I don't think this mix is actually all that great, as I really did struggle with it. I think I'd probaby listened to it too much doing all the reprogramming and stuff. I recall getting all the gain staging right was particularly tricky as it's quite dynamic overall. I'd never really attempted reprogramming and editing a mix like that before. It was hard work, but quite good fun.
Cheers!
Quick edit to add that I thought I might have possibly blended the bass and drums. I just checked though and the original drum and bass tracks are actually all muted for the mix.

Just uploaded a mix/master? Waiting for comments? Why not give back and critique a mix/master, or two!
