This was all done "in the box" on my PC with Adobe Audition.  I'm new to mixing, I've only been doing this as a hobby for about 6-8 months.  All of the plugins and effects that I used are either included with Audition, or are free plugins that I've come across.

I was trying my best to capture the feel of the song, and work with that.  I found some of the instruments coming from tracks that I didn't expect them to be on, but I used that to my advantage!  The vocals I kept simple, and hit them with a touch of reverb and a few other little tweaks that I've used on other stuff, but to a lesser amount (due to having been recorded on better equipment!)

I LOVE that guitar sound, and hit it with my usual guitar treatment, tossing some delayed signal to the opposite channel.  

For the bass I used bot the mic'd and the DI tracks, but each was used in a different way, to fill in the sound.  I hit the bass with a little bit of chorus to make it fill out as well.

The kick sounded pretty good as recorded, I didn't do anything extreme with it, just some compression to shape the sound a bit, and a LP to clean it up.

That snare was ringing like a 1960's telephone!  I cleared some of the ring out of it with a notch filter, and I found some of the snare in the overhead.  I threw some reverb on the snare to keep it from being muffled, but not so much to make it echo.

The overheads were interesting!  I had fun figuring out what was really in the overheads!  

The drums were bussed together and run through a multi-band compressor

One of the most useful plugin that I used was a mid-side balancer.  I found that very small adjustments made a huge difference on how things sound!

I really enjoyed the experience of participating in this, and I have learned a HUGE amount from doing this!  I've read a lot of stuff, watched some youtube tutorials, and of course the Puremix videos of the setup.  

Thanks to Puremix and the sponsors for doing this!
