Great thread! I was just thinking about this the other day myself while mixing a tune that will not ge going to mastering.
Because I would never (well never say never but) go more than 1 or 2 db worth of compression when mixing for a client that was going to get mastering done I have a hard time pushing beyond that.
For the folks who say "well use your ears" .. yeah that is the point. My ears tell me that anything more than 1 or 2 db at the most is too much. My ears also tell me that I really don't like today's "modern sound" so I guess I have to force myself to do it from time to time and the only thing I can trust at that point is my eyes on the meter.
Sucks but that is the world us little guys live in, you can close your eyes to it but it will still be there when you open them back up again.
