cheers guys.

yes, you're right Baz, there is way too much compression. :) I have got 3 sub groups in there. I think the problem is in drum buss, where not all channels which are coming in are treated as good as they should be. first i will check the kick, eq it, and maybe layer another punchy one for more presence.

will also try how it sounds with lower compression on separate groups as I went too wild on those Abbey Road limiters :D

cheers ;-)

yeah those abbey road limiters are a little touchy!!

another thing im just noticing is the release on the limiter is set way too long. i understand the style you're going for when the kick isnt in the track. i love that myself where the music lifts up and then gets sucked back down when the kick comes back but your limiter release is set way to high and the music slowly lifts in volume which sounds odd.

also on your sub groups try minimal compression. remember that a lot of small amounts of compression thru-out the chain is much better than fewer heavy compressions.
