These are great tips that it usually takes years before realizing for people just starting. This is definitely an article that should get around, great job.

I love the idea of systematically cutting the frequencies in tracks when I'm wanting that frequency range highlighted on other tracks; can't wait to try it out! Question though: should these resultant cuts also be narrow, or should they be the same bandwidth (Q value) as a boost on the highlighted track (if I boosted, that is)?
