In case you didnt know that creates digital distortion.. one of the reasons why your tracks probably sound like shit.

So you are running a record label and you didn't manage to even route the audio correctly to prevent a shitty ghetto tutorial? This is some cheap stuff not worth a second.

Chessboard is mostly correct; however in modern music (excluding classical music and other purist genres) you will always compress the kick and bass, and most often the rest of the drums.

You shouldn't need a limiter. EQ and compression are more than enough.
Mixing starts with the kick (then drums) and bass. You could knock your whole mix out.
Bypass your effects, put your faders at zero. Raise the kick to a decent level. It should "sit" on the floor so it doesn't have to be loud. Louder equals higher.
Now slowly raise your bass to a decent level. Pull it back when the bass starts to take over. The kick should always just poke through.
You may not even need EQ/Compression.
I have watched this so many times cheers mate it helps alot.
Do you ever side chain compress the bass with the kick?
