If your mix is sounding muddy, try holding back on the limiter. The temptation is to make your mix as loud as possible and to drive the limiter in order to achieve this. The obvious downside to this is, the more you limit, the more everything in the mix reaches a maximum loudness ceiling (everything has the same velocity) which makes the mix sound muddy and cluttered. Add too much stereo enhancer to this and things really start to sound crap. Don't overdo the EQ as again, this can make your mix sound muddy. I found that the presets didn't really work for me, but after messing around for a few hours (with constant A-B comparisons) I found something which I was really happy with. But remember, a good master, always starts with a good mix in the first place.
As far as I know, only the Pro-Tools plug-in version of T-Racks has a limiter, where you may manually change the frequencies. I have T-Racks 24 v2 and they're fixed (it says that in the hard copy of the manual). If you can change them in the stand alone version, can someone point me in the right direction...
