so i've been working on getting my mixes to sound as professional as i can. i've read a lot about compression, eq, limiting, etc. ive also read about some of the tricks the pros use to get things to sound nice, warm and loud (saturation, bus compression, tube coloring, etc)
there's something ive been wondering though
if you're mastering your own tracks, is it better to get everything to be as loud as possible with compression and then only doing slight saturation, compression and limiting on the master or to mix everything at a moderate level and get everything to be as loud as possible on the master?
also, the same goes if you're getting your tracks mastered professionaly
