However I never rule out EQ or Exciter; they can make a huge difference. Same with stereo imaging.. though this can be a tough one to nail.

Once you implement a multiband compressor, an exciter can help keep the life in the sound.
EQ, well, I never rule that one out.. and I'm confused because your post says you avoid post-mix EQ but your described signal path includes it.

"As mentioned by order of processing is Ozone 6 EQ > Waves LinMB > Ozone 6 Limiter"
and
"I'm not a fan, as least for me, of post mix reverb, stereo exciters or post production EQ hence I never use those modules with Ozone 6."

I'm confused (happens often, so may just be me).


Ozone has two EQ modules. One is the first in the chain and the other is the last module before the limiter. I meant that I use EQ only as the first effect in the chain and I always do that but never as the last. . Sorry I wasn't clear. But with me there's ample precedent for that!
