Created in Garageband from scratch with no pre-existing loops. In search of that good sonic balance, I have been working a lot on fine-tuning my final EQ with the built-in compressors and limiters. For reference I have added my master track output settings below. Again, these are for the master track only, individual tracks have different EQ settings depending on the soundspace I'm trying to fill at any given point in the song. 

Compressor Threshold: -16dB
Ratio: 2.5:1
Attack: 6.0ms
Gain: 6.0dB
EQ: Low pass: ~ 40hz and High Pass:~17Khz
Multipressor: -3.2
Limiter: +5.5dB
Output Level: -0.5dB
