“The L2 Ultramaximizer and F6 Floating-Band Dynamic EQ are tools I use for really helping cymbals where the snare is too dominant. Sometimes the L2 can just stick it back in the mix enough, but it’s worth trying to limit the 400 Hz range if you’ve got something boxy happening – especially if the drums have been tracked in a low room and you’ve got snare coming back off the ceiling.”
