Regarding the to buss-processing... lately I built up my mixes FROM the 2 buss. First I gained all elements without eq, maybe with a 2 buss compressor, then I use one or two eqs on the 2 buss to create the overall soundshape. What I can't fix with the 2 buss eq I do with indvidual eqing. Once you are familar with this workflow you'll be amazed how fast you can work and how good and glued it sounds. It is also easier to correct bright or dull mixes if they don't translate.

I don't think my mixes are too dull, its just when I try to get the bass guitar at a decent level, it muddies it up.
Probably need more punch from the bass and less bottom.
I'm working on it, thanks for the tips.
I think my mixes are really coming along.
I'll post some samples in a bit.
