Part 2-

For a good sounding mix without changes to the natural sound of the recording, dont change stereo width. If you are trying to get a particular 'big' sound, use a mid-side adjusting stereo width as opposed to phase-based frequency changing stereo adjust which can mess up mono compatibility.

Fixing loudness first with eq correction helps eliminate pumping/distortion and other compression artifacts in sound. If still not ok, a multi-band comp/limiter can help overall loudness.

Hi there,

loudness is relative to a few main elements. First, I highly recommend NOT trying to get as loud as current major label releases. 99% of the time they are too loud- and must sacrifice quality.

Check your mix against a major release mix that you like, reducing that reference mix to -6dB or so. Listen and compare stereo width, low, mid, highs. Usually, a great sounding mix w/less volume impact needs a few dB reduction in low mids (200-500Hz), high mids (1.5-4kHz) before limiting/comp...
