I just rendered a new work in progress based on the ANTZ theme and I used channelstrips in my Reaper DAW. Normally I use my analog mixer for mixing and do my mastering on the master channel in my DAW. I tried to create a tight and pumping mix, but still wanted to keep some air to let things breath. I think I may have overdone it a little to much, but I’m not completely disappointed by the result. What do you guys think?

Keep in mind that I’m more of a live performer than a studio engineer, so I’m not very experienced in mixing and mastering techniques.
