"I shall work through the frequencies rather than the instruements, as this will allow us to see where there are complimentary frequencies (different instruments produce the same sound).

this freq is where all the boom is, if you want more boom on foot drums and bass guitar, boost, to reduce, cut.
100hz( usually mid bass)
this is the hard bass sound, it gives drums that solid feel, boosting here will harden the drums/bass guitar, as well as adding warmth to guitars. A cut will reduce boom on guitar and add clarity.
200hz (either midbass/mid)
Boost to add warmth to vocals and guitar, reduce to clean up vocals
