Izotope and some other independent producers have some good videos/tutorials on Youtube for this. Trash 2 is one of the only plugins I own and I learned how to make my percussion tracks sound bigger, crisper and punchier without EQing which just made them sound ‘boomy’ and ‘muddy’ and without simply raising the volume just from watching the Trash 2 tutorials on the Izotope Youtube channel even though my percussion is mainly ethnic drums and the video was with a modern drum kit the same principles applied near enough. The same principles could be applied to other plugins/products of the same/similar type too.
