Go nice and wide with your pads for sure. The role of pads in general is atmosphere and that can definitely be more side focused. As for Bass do not just simply mono your bass. Instead take your eq...

It sounds like a real bass with some sort of amplifier on it (I literally remember my youth with a line 6 pod thing having a similar sound) Maybe try guitar amp racks by native instruments? They ha...

Think in mid side, think in warmth and think in rhythmic lfo's too. Adjust this and you should be on your way
If you go this route and the room is too dead place wooden slats (planks) where you need diffusion, have a look at John Brandt's designs. If you are building a professional space I highly suggest w...

I am almost certain it's Output's Substance or maybe even a preset from Diva. Anybody else have a suggestion as to what preset this could be?
Overall, it's a judgement call on a live gig type of song vs a full production type of song. If it's a gig type of track run the whole mix through some cheap compressor (alesis etc) or vulf. If it'...

It's an extremely loud song so remember this is part of why your version sounds less "full"
Regardless, wow control or any tape with wow will do to pitch it and move it around :)

In this video we go over drum bus questions and answer it all via not needing that at all for the actual reference :). Use a microshift on the elements you want wide.
The video has a bit of slap on it by itself so sorry for that but in the end we figured out how to get the sound right. Delay plugin set on 1 with ozone imager 2
First I listen to the reference, get an emotional check list and get started.
My order generally is to get the band to Jam together and after the leads/singers etc.
Drums, B...

I hope with this video to have answered more of the question. In short, set your criteria with reference tracks. Be able to listen to just low end (use headphones if your room is poopy). Listen for...

Just keep it simple. One oscillator in the low. No need to EQ it besides a bit of room for the kick. Adjust ADSR if you like and use the criteria of "will my listener be able to hear the low end". ...

Nice track and especially nice that you added a middle eight. Those go a long way into making a track. Overall, reverb might be something to consider to wetten the song up a bit.

Adjust your speakers with 6 to 7db at the top end so that you will not bump your top end with 6 to 7db. I highly suggest fixing the top end first and -6 all the hi hats. Second, the kick seems to b...

The main gripe to tackle will be the low mid of the kick and snare build up. Give that a general cut and put a bump on the fundamental of the kick (pultec curve). Next a reverb on the snare 1 to 1....

You did a good job. A few small things but my main worry is it might be a little too hard for UMEK. It's definitely good enough though.
