The to me, the important part of the exercise was how these effects were supposed to be chained. The order of putting these effects is important, according to Christian. I personally use compressor as the last effect on tracks, because there might be unwanted frequencies caused by some device and the compressor controls all of them.
I also used delay and reverb; not for all tracks though. I used delays for one of the guitars and reverbs for the vocal tracks. At the end, it was compressor, which was used for a group of tracks and also the final master track.
30 seconds of the final result could be found HERE.
Another interesting exercise of our this week was to GROUP several tracks in protools and apply effects and changes on mixing to them simultaneously.
As shown in the picture above, it is relatively easy to do the job and determine either the tracks are going to be changed together in terms of the effects applied on them, or the mix, or both.My references are as same as the last week's! I still think the material stated in these references are valid for this week's exercise as well.

I downloaded, then media player plays it quite weirdly, sort of like sample rate issues maybe :)
