... While all my end results sound decent, most of my mixes only seem to work with some heavy compression and a limiter on the master track. I just feel like im almost 'cheating'. [/unquote] You shouldn't normally put a limiter on the main when mixing at all. Leave the limiting for the mastering engineer. You should also generally only put a comp on the 2 bus if you mix into it and even then the compressor needs to be suitable for 2 bus (many aren't). Many engineers would go further and say that you just shouln't put limiters and compressors on the 2 bus, ever. In all seriousness it is often best to leave things off the main bus - particularly compressors and limiters - when mixing unless you have a considerable amount of experience. [quote] Also, I find it very hard for any bass to come through in mixes without making them stupidly loud. Any advice? [/unquote] The issue may well be more to do with your monitors. Most 2 way ported monitors that are commonly used for recording/mixing just do not reproduce bass particularly well. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

Really great job, there! I have a Canon T3i and I need a faster computer to handle my videos. It takes HOURS to render.
