Diesel13: 'Colour Me Red'

[Dangerous]

I have uploaded my final mix of this great tune and for the first time I have experimented in depth with loudness (Thanks Mike). I ended up trying all sorts of processes, compressing, clipping and limiting etc and combinations of all, but found it quite difficult. There always seemed to be a compromise of sorts with the processing. Timbre, mix balance and dynamics were the main areas I was having issues with in this regard. Although I have managed get the mix louder, I still feel I may have wimped out a bit also. I have taken this mix as hard as I an prepared to push it based on what I am hearing. I didn't use any metering only referencing of commercial content. A great learning and listening exercise that I will find beneficial for future mixes regardless.
