I'd like to request a general cheat sheet for equalising various recorded instruments. How much high, mid, and bass should I give lead vocals.
or distortion guitar, acoustic guitar, bass guitar, and the like. Also, while recording drums with seperate mics, what should the EQ of the various recorded drums be?

In the Electronic Musician mag April 2004, there is a really cool article on mixing strategies. They talk to Dave Pensado (Christina Aguilera, Pink etc), Tim Palmer (David Bowie, U2, Ozzy Osbourne etc.) and Roger Nichols (Take 6, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones etc.).....very good read and interesting tips!

Hi, Po.... just a thought to share.... regardless of what "systematic" EQ or processing you might think you should or should not apply to a vocal track, in the final analysis, it's going to be the sound of the track to you, and to your end-listeners that will matter, and not whether you put the "correct" number on the gain knob of some band of EQ, or choose the preset called "Hard Rock Vocal" from your plugin. Your ears are still the acid test, and presets are only a good guess. Understanding how to "create your own preset" is still the best route to go. Learn to make your vocal sound outstanding to your ear, and make it fit perfectly into your mix. Since vocals and mixes vary like snowflakes, giving you the exact settings to achieve that from this distance is not possible, in my opinion, but I can certainly guide you on the concepts of subtractive equalization, dynamics controls, ambience and "niching" a vocal into a mix so it sits just right, but those are still techniques to be applied on a case-by-case basis. For me, there's no "one-size-fits-all" process - maybe a guess at a benchmark, at best. Feel free to ask me anything specific, and I'll be happy to assist you.
