Very good advice from everyone here. I love to read these type threads. One thing i do a tad different is sometimes depending on the needs i will pop a compressor in a buss like the reverb, and that way i can dial up just a touch for some of the tracks i feel that need it. I can still use track compression as well.

I always place a spectrum analyzer in the first slot of the master buss, and follw with a multiband EQ and roll down offending tones over all, then EQ separately tracks that sound badly.

The real thing is that there is no one way, you have to take the time to experiment and work though it.

Listen and mix, then go away and come back with fresh ears.
