Q: In the production stage, do you have always on a compressor/limiter in the stereo mix? Or do you master the song after finishing mixing?
A: i used to never use one at all because i didn't know any better. then i discovered it and just left it on from the start, because i didn't know any better. then i decided i should start with it off. then i realized it might be actually better to leave it on the entire time, so you know what you're playing into
