Danny Danzi Mix Guide?

A few years ago, a fellow forumite (Danny Danzi) posted a very well thought-out and well-written procedural guide for mixing/mastering.
 
Back then, I copy/pasted the text from his post into a Google Doc, which I've referred to on multiple occasions over the years. A couple months ago that gdoc was corrupted, and according to Google's tech support it is "unrecoverable".
 
I've searched in vain for this old thread, but can't find it. Any chance any of you might have bookmarked this thread, or copied his text?
 
I found another link with some specific instructions, that someone else had copy/pasted from yet a different thread. It is also full of good stuff - but it isn't the essay I was looking for. The one I had copied was extremely thorough, starting with track preparation and a clean slate on the console.

    That's the other link I was referring to (but it looks like I forgot to include that link in my OP - doh!).
     
    That is still a good link though, just not the one I was seeking.

    Or shoot Danny a PM. He is very responsive.

    Danny also helped me with a mix once directly. I paid him what I could (not enough) but he was awesome. I uploaded my mix and he made me a video of all the things he would change.
     
    As a matter of fact, that was a really great experience for me.
     
    If anyone wants to hear what I have to say about their mix, I'd be game to give making them a video a try.

    I make some videos. This one shows how to do a physical loopback on the RME UCX to get many more equalizer nodes.

    Did you ever solve this? I'm intrigued in reading this too!

    I don't know if this is what you're looking for but I found a thread where Danny posted some great points about the basic process.

    Sorry, no I haven't found it, and don't want to bother Mr Danzi - he does enough of this for free without having to go back and look for an old post. The new link is also pretty good, and is getting added to my new text file though!
