I wanted to conclude with a challenge. I would like you to try and create a new mix using nothing but ReaEQ and ReaComp on each channel, and ReaEQ, ReaComp, TP Basslane (or the JS stereowidener that citizenkeith pointed out below) and the JS plugin RBJ1073 in the global, in that order. Mix entirely in mono, and disable the global effects until the very end. High-pass everything that isn't the kick or bass guitar at least at 150 Hz. Keep it in mono so you hear phase issues right off the bat. If you have overhead mics and a separate kick mic, then high-pass your overheads, too.

In other words, build your mix from scratch with only volume levels, compression, and EQ, and only in mono.

Stretch yourself - can you do it? How does it sound when you do?
