There's not really much to it actually.. I haven't put way too much time 
in the mixing/mastring process.. just the usual of getting things to fit 
compression, eq, and some automatation... In the stuka song I have only 
a h4n as overheads + kick and snare but no tom mics so the sound stands 
out alitle from the rest on that song.. I allways emphasize the 1100hz 
region on the uprightbass to give more of that buzzy sound, I'm using 
the 4-band parametric eq... I've been refence listening alot to The Bad 
Plus as this is the band that has inspired me the most lately.. I use 
the same panning idea they've got on most of their songs, eg bass and 
piano to the sides and the drums !everywhere! -_- It really separates 
things! I also make use of the ir-lv2 plug alot, mostly for room 
emulation and reverbs.. I record the drums in a bad sounding, boxy 
garage so I put the OH's quite close to the drums and use room emulation 
instead.. as for mastering I really just try to get the levels sort of 
the same with a limiter...
