depends on the track but i like keeping drums low- mid range.
with other percussion filling in the gaps between mid and high.

i like really defined crispy hi hats so i use alot of hi range on them and have them
compressed. then when the ride cymbols drop i dont compress them and it seems
to work nice with crispy hi hats.

i send everything to the FX channels and eq each of them seperately
to get the sound i want. then i eq the master so nothing is out of proportion
and track sounds tight.

im using fruityloops at the moment and it seems to do everything i need it to do.
