Tattoo Star Final Mix

I mixed this in protools ten. I was going for and old school rock approach with the mix. the thing i had the hardest time with was hihat bleed since all of the tracks were stems. I started by splitting the drum tracks up then set a gate one the snare triggered by filtering a separate track to key snare frequencies and used that as a trigger to clean it up. I used a nice subtle slapback delay on the vocal that i though really gave it an old school feel. I also doubled the vocal in the choruses for a little more power. For mixing I started with the vocal because its generally the most important piece of a song then brought in kick and snare and pulled everything up around that. the reverb I used is an emt 250 that i sampled. The following is a list of gear I used:
monitors-krk vxt 6
persons 16.4.2 for an interface
kick-lofi and ssl channel waves
snare- ssl channel
sn smash-api 2500 waves
