Was pointed to this little beauty over at the computer music forum, but found it quite funny and thought I'd share it

Sure there are parallels in drum and bass (especially the destruction of the entire dynamic range) and I'm sure I can see similar things happening in dubstep, see what you think.

I'm sure it's been done already, not namin names. Boost bass, compress/limit individual hits, send to group, boost bass/compress/limit, send to output, maxxbass, limit, master limit/eq and finalise. Mp3 it up and jeeeeeezus it's fuckin loud isn't it - like all of it

Make sure he compresses the hell out of everything as he mixes it. Compress each drum individually and then compress an overall stereo submix of 'em. Make sure to compress all the electric guitars even though a distorting guitar amp is the most extreme "compressor" in existence. Compress everything else, and then compress the overall mix. Add tons and tons of reverb to the drums on top of all those room mics, and add stereo chorus on everything else. Spare no expense. Spend at least two weeks on it. Then take it home and decide to pay for someone else to remix the whole thing.

priceless.
