I will say that most people do what you prescribed above but I really don't like it. I turns every hihat in to a shaker.

I'm not saying to boost the highs. rather cut everything out of your instruments so you can hear the hats better.

I tend to find that my mixes have too little highs, so I tend to just boost across the board. Generally only my hats are up there though... too much use of that low pass filter on the synths perhaps...

yeah, i do that all the time aswell, but in a more subtle way, not by high cutting, but by using a hi shelf filter type/mode, started doing this 3 years ago or something, by analyzing other records, you would be surprised if you'd know how widely this technique is used
