March Hare track with mixing tutorial video

Sorry to bump this thread but I saw one more time the video tut yesterday and i'm very very surprised that there is not any EQ plugin on the kick, no EQ plugin on the toms, no EQ plugin on the cymbals... could Splatt explain me why ?

In addition, I tried to test the exactly same settings for my drum to taste, and I have serious problems on snare triggering (I think it is because of the Hats bleed inside sd2n, but I don't understand because I put the extact same settings as the tutorial...)

More than a video to see what settings you use, I would have been very interested on a big explanation on why do you do that etc... on every thing. but I know you don't have much time for that.

Splat, could you just answer to my two questions please ?
