Just a quick check and get some feedback.
When I am mixing, I usually get the high volume out through manipulation of the source file (non-destructive editing) either with envelope control, or splitting the file and reducing the high volume source.
Once I have that track volume pretty set (first pass), then I put a compressor on the channel and do light compression, 6dB knee, attack/release according to the source per track.
When completed, then I compress at the master with soft knee, slow attach and release.
My question is, does this sound like the use of too much compression?
Just looking for different views and approaches.
