Do you do it as you compose or is it something that you do after all of the instrumentation has been laid out? For me, I have a tendency to just throw a limiter on the master so as to not have the track clipping while I compose and arrange. Then, once I have all of my elements in place, I drop all of my faders to -6 dB and remove the limiter once I'm ready to export the wav and import it into Ozone for mastering. I use compression to make things stick out more or less in the mix. Is this a bad approach? Should I be using compression just to bring up the volume of the source sound and then using the volume faders for mixing? Would love to hear from yall.
