i use multiband compression and limiting on the mix buss. i shoot to make the mix sound ultimately finished. best scenario for me with mastering is the mastering guy to say... "yep." and not do a damn thing to it. if i even begin to think something needs to be fixed in mastering, i just find the culprit and fix it in the mix.

the only thing i dont do preferrably is SRC and bit reduction.
