Prince,
I never claimed mixing into a limiter was a good thing. In fact I even said in my first post that I did something that I really hate doing. Now, I have mixed into comps before. Typically when I do I merely push up to 2-3dB with 2:1 or 1.5:1 ratio, slow attack, and a medium to long release. Sometimes during the final chorus I will purposefully push the comp a bit though for some effect. This of course is a taste thing. Having said that I normally do not use master level compression, but it just depends on what I want the mix should sound like. Never toss a tool out just because the tool has been abused. Finally, I do almost always start with a static mix and then start adding automation and fx. Also, unless sounds have major issues with dynamic consistency I also wait to add compression.
Regarding, From Earth to Planet Omega I am just waiting to hear back from Mr. Senior .
