I usually do all my instruments around -14db with eq'ing each sound in its specific sound range and then make room for the most important instrument by lowering the other instruments a little unless it's something in the mid or high end like blow instruments then put drums, snares, claps and hats at -10db and most all percussion around -12db then use a mastering plugin like limiter or maximus to adjust the correct band passes and then compress highs, mids and lows all sepratly by finding a compromise point. I wounder am I doing to much? But to me it honestly gives me a more un muddy sound. The sound is actually really clear. Only thing I still always have to tweak most of the times is making sure the "low mid" range is decent/correct to avoid speaker clapping or extra sounds on different monitor systems like car speakers and such. Wonder what yall think of my work flow!? Am I doing to much or still not enough?
