use compresssion sparingly on every channel...even master.

if your track sounds good all the way through with and without compression on master channel then you're on the right path.

i JUST started doing this literally this week. It has been the missing link in the 'fattness' of my songs.

then I drop in L2 and bump it up enough to play out. good to go.

oh, and if you have a good sound card installed but are still running through a pre-amp/mixer try cutting the pre-amp/mixer out of the equation all together. doing this is the single biggest improvement to my music.

i couldn't believe how much was being taken away by going though the pre-amp.

I've got Event TR-8's for monitors. So, RCA directly out of the sound card into the monitors. MUCH better.

I hope someone finds this useful.
