so as you know i have done some remakes what i learned - the song usually starts with a pad or a bleeping synth (reverse pads can be created with REV output kontakt plugin http://output.com/ - the bass is usually low at c1 or c5 oactaves - the bass is filtered and sometimes a synth bass rather then acoustic guitar bass - the guitars are different, layer of guitar panned left and right in the stereo field - mike or chester voice uses autotune or melodyne pitc correction the drums can be recreated using addictinve drums 2 or toontrack ez drummer the piano is filtered with removed high end and some distortion gutiar use amprack or guitar rig 5 for distortion here is a screenshot of high voltage in cubase http://imgur.com/a/6ZvWm
