My special secret:
Run your mix through an extreme lowpass filter set around 30-40 Hz, after any bass enhancement, but before your final compression/limiting/normalization.
Anything under 20-30 Hz is inaudible, and also contains the greatest amount of energy. By removing this inaubible material, you'll create a great deal more room for audio within the audible spectrum.
Shhh....

I tend to use FX in this order
Compressor(very light)
An enhancer like MAXBASS or Rymix Stereo Box pro
Then an Exsiter (plz for give bad spelling) like Oomic Exsiter
Then Reverb(very thin sounding but a bit heavy on the fx mix)
Then then more light compression.
I mosty do Very Ambiet D N B or Drill in Bass. I hope that helps..
Peace, Zero

To be honest, I don't think it suits the majority of tracks but if it's a kind of polished hifi sound you're looking for then it may work well.. (but only a tiny bit mixed in.. ;) ) ...
At the end of the day though.. Who am I to say? Do what sounds good to you.. As long as you make sure the reverb isn't applied to the bass frequencies then it shouldn't cause any problems.. Just a matter of taste...

yeah you're right. You'd notice this on passages with lots of space but
in a hectic dnb track maybe less so.
I would tend to not use reverb on the mix and istead use it via an fx
send.

Reverb has quite a different sound when used before or after a
compressor.
If you put it before, the compressor will bring up the reverb tails,
making
the mix seem more "wet" in a very specific way. It really depends on
what
kind of sound you're going for - I usually try it both ways and then
decide.
