#1. Remember to leave headroom in the mixing process. Balance you're levels to taste , but keep peaks below -6db as a general guideline.

- never process your audio unless you hear a need for it, not because your favorite artist said they use a certain technique.

[garyd7]

- high pass everything that's not bass

[8ball]

Maybe a little OT but hey, Clean up your projects! ( File Menu>Manage Project>and delete unused files you don't no longer use.)

[Jamoflage]

If you use them, set Live's reverb to high quality mode, and EQ's to oversampling.

A/B -everything- at identical volumes.
