Hi guys, its my first post in the forum, and it's about mixing, my troubled area.

I often have more than 1 atmosphere in a track. I like droney sounds and like making pads and atmospheric soundscapes from synths and/or field recordings. My question is this, since most atmospheres have similar low-mid-high frequencies in their sound, how do you guys avoid masking, and how do u share your pads in the stereo panorama? so that each sound blends with others naturally but keeps its own special place in the mix? Do you like using Mono or Stereo Synths and why you prefer it? Also do u leave frequencies below 40Hz in the mix or remove them from all sounds to avoid muddiness?

Also, do you guys compress or side-chain your pads? If yes, why and on which occasions? some lines would be appreciated. Thanx in advance folks
