i've gotten great results using t-racks alone, the compression is fantastic imo. maybe your mixdown levels are too high going into the mastering process? that make the compression sound funny, with a lot of "pumping and breathing" as they say. as a rule of thumb my mixdowns never peak -2db. that gives me more headroom to play with during mastering..
>I seem to remember reading in a few places that you >shouldn't compress the main mix ?!!? i think this refers to when actaully recording the mixdown, which is true. i never use compression on an overall mix when i'm recording the mix. but, compression is most definitely used in mastering. later, ayan At 11:03 AM 1/4/2002 +0000, you wrote: >Hmm..
