Here is my attempt at this month track....enjoyed mixing this (even though not what I would normally listen to!
)Thanks to @Mister Fox as usual and @javiramallo for supplying the song which again has moved med out of my comfort zone

DRUMS
Split the percussion track into a kick and snare, also kept the original and blended in as well. Just EQ and compression used on the tracks to get a sound I felt worked.
Also create one more duplicate of the percussion track, which I processed as a "room" track: using slight saturation, low cut around 230 and high cut around 5k. This was then compressed and feed into a reverb(pheonixverb). Blended in quite low (may not even notice if it was muted, but left it as I was experimenting)
Little Drum track had similar splitting of frequency's,and EQ/Compression and limiter.
Reverse Cymbal: not a lot here, little compression and a small high shelf around 7k
Claps: panned 50%L & R - eq/compression and also clipped them with Kclip3
Shakers: panned 80% L & R - EQ/Compression and some saturation, with a little of del
Some of the drum/percussion tracks were then sent to:
Parallel compress (1176)
Plate reverb
Saturation
Delay (echoboy)- only for shakers which I used on the ontro.
BASS
Duplicated track
1 track had a SVTVR amp applied the other had the lows to mid removed and then compressed heavily then added some chorus effect on...blend in with the other track.
Bass Bus then had some eq to take remove below 80Hz then compression and a limiter. Some ducking against the "kick" as well.
Guitars: Mercurial SS-11X to generate a tone I quite liked, small amount of EQ after (hi/low cuts)
Panned 100%LR for the main rhythm verse tracks, brought in to 80% for chorus tracks.
track "05" was sent to a delay aux and reverb aux - other tracks were sent to reverb aux as well.
All guitar tracks went into a Guitar bus which had some further compression and a SSL E channel strip (plugin alliance), but just using EQ here to boost around 3k & 8k a a few db.
SYNTH:Some eq to remove some harshness and used little alterboy to generate an octave lower version which was mixed in very low, then into a delay and reverb.
VOX: EQ/Comp/Dessing using Channev, then further light compression with an LA2 type, also then went into another desser.
All vox tracks went to pultek/la2/pultek bus before being mixed back with the original, where I applied some EQ/further desser and compression
Backing vox had also Little Alterboy on bring up pitch, and blending in...also using the saturation a little.
Vox Aux: used a parrallel processing track which I automated louder in the chourus sections, also used delay/reverb/saturation and a tape effect.
Automation used to send different amounts here and there.
FX Tracks:
Little clean blip track, removed most of the low below 900 and high (above 3.5k), then put mixed in a pitch shift of an octave down, which I compressed slightly before going to a reverb/delay.
Droplet: Just some eq compressiona and reverb/delay.
Outro: Sent the Shakers to a delay just before the end so they faded out over the little drum track section, the squaky toy noise was left in but and had a delay effect to let it decay out.
Master: Black Box for some subtle saturation, EQ just rolling off everything below 24hz, then some compression using LA2 (cakewalk) (just the highs being processed) and then a TCL-2 (plugin alliance) Opto compressor , only doing about 1db in each unit (no make up gain).
Much automation used in this, mainly volume but some panning and effect sends as well.
Hope you enjoy
