What about multiband compressors with limiters then? Though not recommended, it would be a fix against minor problems, if you can't address it at the mix for whatever reason.
While this is no cure against big problems, the master may also improve from bigger problems a little.
Still hurts the end result. These problems, especially big ones, should never be there to hide in the first place, captain obvious would say.

I prefer good mix. If you have problems with mastering, go back to mix and fix it. Good mix needs only a light facelift from mastering engineer  |

Couldn't agree more! A good mix defines the track. Even the best mastering won't help a bad mixed song to be honest. |

It's really sad to hear so much music sounding so heavily limited here, and often it actually seems as if people are doing it just to hide their mixing flaws in an attempt to create a louder mix.

How is it possible to hide a mixing flaw by limiting it?
Mixing flaws are, as I understood, when two different intruments use the same frequcies (too much). Limiting won't change their use of frequecies, so how can limiting 'solve' a mixing issue?
I mean, I know that it's possible to hide your mixing flaw, i've done it myself, but WHY is possible? What is the theory behind it?

Don't pay too much attention to what I wrote two years ago. Mixing flaws are just the result of bad mixing. Think of it more in terms of psychoacoustics, where loud sounds are generally perceived as better. So a mix can be made to appear better, but underneath it's still a mess, something a critical ear would pick up on.
The way of the future. |

Music changes hearts and minds. It goes where words cannot always get to.

well, ofcourse a mix needs to be good, and shouldn't be fixed with limiting. I'm just asking how it's possible to 'solve' it.. but I understand it now
