This, I think, is the crux of the biscuit. It took me years to realize that a significant portion of the things I was trying to accomplish in the mixing phase were really mastering issues. While I think this is not the right place for a textbook on compression, we will have to give a primer on the basics of compression as it pertains to mastering. Learning just a smidge about that made the final version of a project I was working on come alive! More importantly, good documentation is NOT written by running through the menus and writing a paragraph on each one. Such reference is handy, but I feel it is more important to explain the work flow of a tool, explaining what the most likely tweaks are at each stage and how to access them.
