Sorry to bitch, but you do know the Q10 is overloading by 1.5 dB, right? Sure this might have occured during tweaking (which still isn't a good thing), but seeing as though your compressor's output gain isn't set up to match that of the level going into the compressor, I thought I'd mention it. Keeping your levels well under control is probably the most important thing to mixing.
And, why so many EQ nodes? A cut at 16 Hz, a boost at 28 Hz, a highpass at 36 Hz (which, by the way, you can't boost by 9.2 dB). It really doesn't have to be so complicated (although I guess it does provide a way to somewhat adjust the Q on the highpass filter).
Anyway, no use judging it without hearing it of course, but get those levels sorted if it really sounds the way it looks.

Fair enough. The thing I was getting at though, is that you when your output gain on the compressor is right down at -6.9 dB, for one you're not able to hear the effect of the compressor properly, because you're hearing a drop in level rather than the actual compression, and two, your levels are going to be pointlessly flying up and down throughout the mix (the saturator is increasing it by 10.3 dB again), when in fact you're much better off keeping things constant so that you can actually hear the before and after effects objectively. The accepted approach is to increase the makeup gain on the compressor by a few dB's so that the level remains more or less the same when the compressor is bypassed - a technique that took me all too long to adapt.
