My point is though that many of these 'secrets' are there for all to see.
Katz has been very thorough and very revealing.
Have you read it?
I've considered making the move to mastering (I mix at the moment, as well as all the other stuff I do) but I want to give myself a few more years before I do this.

Not going to lie, I ordered it last night thanks to you
As for multiband compression, it's a handy tool but very, very easy to screw things up with. Any time I've seen pros use it, they've just engaged a single band to fix a specific problem. The thing that makes me laugh are the presets they come loaded with where all the bands seem set randomly to mangle your mix.

It is pretty obvious when someone has mastered from Waves presets.

I got the idea to try it after watching this video
Using all the bands on an MB compressor is like using all the bands on an 8 band EQ just because they're there.

For narrow cuts I'd still go EQ, in fact I've never used a dynamic EQ and have only ever dealt with resonances manually. What dynamic EQ are you using and are you using it on just vocals or something else? Resonances in distorted guitars/bass guitars can be a massive pain in the backside.
For higher guitar resonances, because they tend to be less dynamic I tend to use a regular eq or occasionally a de-esser if there's a particularly edgy frequency range getting in the way of something else.
