Do you most of you guys use compression plug-in or outboard compression hardware? I used the Boost 11 limiter on a stereo bus through which I ran all the tracks in this mix, but I'm wondering what other compression or limiting approaches could work. Thanks for your advice!

I like boost 11, because I can work with it faster than the others. I hate the mixing part of a song, so it works for me. I Am learning to use Pro Channels. I hope to complete one of my songs using Pro channels soon. I couldn't check your song out, it wasn't working

I enjoyed listening to that... nice job... try out the Vintage Channel that is packaged with Sonar... I use it all the time...
I also use Boost 11...

I enjoyed this as well. Nice song and a nice mix. I use Izotope compression on my pieces. Ozone 5 Advanced by Izotope is professional tools for the serious  minded musicians, composers and producers. It is expensive but well worth the money if you do your own mastering.

Peace and blessings, John
