How do you plan out the EQ'ing for a mix ?
I've been reading up and watching detailed vids on how to EQ a mix, like snare kick toms distortion gtrs bass strings etc... but I haven't quite come across anyone explaining how they'll EQ the instruments in relation to the other instruments, you'll read things like cut out some mids on the kicks to make room for the gtrs... but they'll usually just look at one instrument at a time, not a clear guide to where each instrument should sit for the mix to be coherent as a whole.
Do you just save an FX chain for each instrument and then apply those to every new session, or do you do that but then finetune as you go for a particular mix - and if you do, how do you decide which tweaks are the right ones, there's dozens of frequencies and one tweak will affect another and so on.
Do you follow some sort of a guide ?
