I guess I'll wait to see how your mix evolves, but for now it's all highly compressed mids and waveform looks maxed out despite relative low volume.

You are right we use Waves L316 on the recording raising with preset Basic 2
Live we use Optimaster on preset rock.
If we had normalised it also it would have been more volym but even more
Compressed .
We dont have to use that technic.
The drums is sounding more dark with the Optimaster.
That is right about the drums .
The level is set for live use by our drummer ,
when we got much more bass here.
We use Toontracks and he is going to mix the drums with another
Snare he said here.
This is my choice and the raise in upper mid with Waves L316
we do because its 16 band separation but maybe that preset Basic 2,
is no good.
For recordings feal free to tell me to use three Optimaster
or whatever to do the final touch.
We skipped Waves GTR on guitars because we got Transients on recordings.
and found the Sibirian tube first instead here.
Its analog distortion tubes, so we can skip all Waves exept the C1 sidechaine
for recordings and live we use C6 PA subbas cutoff.
The drums can have both darker mix and another Snare and another bassdrum.
This was your Quick fix you asked for and compression and the raise in upper middle,
from a preset Basic 2 is probarbly just too much.
It is also because L316 is used by so many famous
and look at theire Wave form
but the hard compression ,
and sound strong is something we dont have to use if we find another better trick,
to make it sound strong without upper mid raise that we dont do live.
We dont use bx on the master.
We use it as in Lesson 5 with feedback.
As told from them who builded it.
About having bassdrum pop out.
Thats what we want and is needed for rytm .
That is impossible with just some bx on the master.
