I was once told that I should mix my session down to a stereo track and then bounce that stereo track. Is this really neccessary? Can I just put a compressor or whatever on my master fader to control the whole mix and then just bounce the whole session? I usually bounce the whole session with the master fader, but I wasn't sure if there was an advantage to the other way?
Thanks,
Stormy

Yup, most people would put comp and dither over the master fader and bounce just like that. The only reason I can think of bouncing to disk without it is if you intend to send your stuff off for pre-mastering, where they may want to do that themselves.

The insert on the master fader is post fader.. That's not where you want to put a stereo buss compressor if you're doing a fade.
