I would like to know where most of you stand when dealing with compression, eq, etc.
Do you feel that every track in a mix should have compression applied to it, including guitars, cymbals, etc. or do you feel that can ruin a mix and some tracks should be left raw?
How about EQ. I personally don't usually EQ everything in the mix because sometimes I think it sounds fine how it is, but maybe I'm wrong. Should everything in a mix be EQ'd to fit it in it's place even if it's just some slight cutting of certain frequencies???
What about limiting, gating, etc?
