There ya go.

You should also locate and download a good "MultiBand Compressor" plugin and give that a shot.

A Multiband Compressor is simply a good parametric EQ in front of a compressor in the same box (or virtual plugin "box").

With that we can sculpt out an area of the frequency band of interest or disinterest and then compress or expand just that area. Typically it can be done with at least three sculpted bands in the same plugin all in one shot.

There are limits as to what can be done, of course, watch for (actually listen for) the longer duration events as they can spill over into unwanted regions and be problematic. Not the same as having separated tracks for each instrument of the trapset, but we can still manage to do quite a bit of gentle sculpting and change things that way to suit the mix if not the desire.

I have the WAVES "Platinum" set of plugins but I'm still trying to figure out what they all do. I think the "Audio Track" does what you suggest, it's a EQ, compressor/limiter all in one, I'll have to try....holy crap there's so much to learn
