Oh, thank you guys. In terms of EQ - as you see in the picture there is little to no eq on most of the tracks in this mix. Slates VCC is doing a good job at refining the original sound of each track and 90% of the EQ moves are hi and low cuts. There is zero EQ on the snare, the kick and the guitars. I also don't cut away the mids from the guitars if I can avoid it. I think that's why most mixes end up with a very bright and harsh sound.
50% of the sound comes from my bus setup. I´m using 4 busses (Low, Mid, High and Air) with different saturation, compression and tape settings for each bus.
