BALANCING  MIX CHEAT SHEET
KICK DRUM // LEAD SINGER // LEADING INSTRUMENT
BASS GUITAR // BACK UP VOCALIST
DRUM KIT
ELECTRIC GUITAR // ACOUSTIC GUITAR // PIANO
SYNTH // PADS

How to use equaliser?
When boosting a band of frequencies, always WIDE
When cutting a band of frequencies, always NARROW
Find the most problematic/annoying/harsh/causing feedback frequency, this is done by boosting a narrow set of frequencies, then swipe it to the left and right to hear the disturbance. Once found, cut that frequency with a NARROW Q. 

How to use compressor?
Start with the threshold, adjusting it lower until the compressor is attenuating the peak. this will help to reduce any over the top volume that can cause hearing damage etc.
Make sure the singers are singing their loudest.
