Aside from the vocal tracks, no. In keeping with my philosophy of "least treatment" I only usually do that when I spot a track with low frequencies that are giving me specific problems.
Maybe I'm trying a little TOO hard to avoid processing.
It's not like I'm trying to avoid work. Quite the opposite. There are often times when my choice to avoid processing a track results in MORE work on my part to get that track to balance properly in a mix. For example, while I also avoid the use of automation I would prefer to use that rather than compression to balance out an unruly track in a mix; that way there's no undesirable effect on short term dynamics, preserving the original quality of the sound. But it IS more work to solve the problem that way for sure.I just checked my archives; I still have the original project for this one (this one was done later, after the "great purge" when I deleted several of them clearing out space on my hard drive
). I'm working extra hours this week so I probably won't have time through the weekdays but I might have a chance to try your suggestion over the weekend; if/when I do I'll post it here.
