Audioslave mixes

Hi Rich, thanks for doing this q&a and for your insights.

I have been obsessed by the audioslave album you mixed since the first time I heard it. Do you mind sharing your approach and techniques for these mixes? I consider them among the very best hard rock mixes. How did you manage to get the instruments and the vocals so big and powerful while maintaining them raw and "natural"? The more you can tell the best, gear (man, that rhythmic section), tricks (is there any reverb? It feels very dry but still has ambience, is it coming all from room mics?), automation (I guess it's one of the element for getting the huge choruses explode). It never feels choked, but the level looks pinned, did you use 2bus compression or was an effect overloading the board? Man I have so many question:)

I'm a huge fan. Thank you.
