What sort of master file dB are you looking for? Most mixes are glued together with master inserts!

Yes I know that but I also know mastering engineers don't want too much treatments on the master bus. They prefer to do it themselves if it has to be done, to avoid mistakes.
You can use a good comp or limiter on your master bus, it's OK.
You can post your mix peaking at 0 db, but if you win the contest, you'll have to give your mix to me with maximum peaks at -3 or -2,5 db. That's the margin the ME needs

Theres my quick mix. Not a whole lot of EQing going on and no sound replacement. I really need to get the kick and snare to stand out more. Too much bleed all round on the kit.

ok so here is my mix: http://download.yousendit.com/BF67B27E363F8612 (AIFF 70.7 mb)
used nuendo 2.2
for drums i used RComp on just about everything, RVerb on the snare and a little on the overall mix. I triggered the beta91 kick with 80% of andy's kick sample and beefed up the beta 52 kick. I compressed the drum buss a little with Rcomp
Guitars I used C4 witha tweeked andy's setting and a little eq, rolled off at 100hz and a small boost at 3000hz and a small cut at 500hz. those amps made mixing really easy sounds great to me
and for bass i compressed all of it with C1 with a 6:1 ratio, 8 attack, and 360 ms release to smooth it out. for the mic'd bass it had a more bassy feel to it so i boosted that to add some oomph to the song and left the other one basically the same, i left the distorted pod track there but its turned way down, i wasnt too keen on it.
for the overall buss i just used small amount of compression (c1) with a ratio of 1.81:1, no limiter or anything and the mix is peaking right at -2.5 to about -3 db
so there u go i would love some feedback good or bad i just wanna know how to improve, once again great idea sly a lot of fun!

my rough mix, it could be better. i'm mixing on some cheap computer spearkers so i don't know how well it translates.

Here's my submission... it's a very rough mix, just spent an hour or two getting everything together. The only edit was to get that one guitar track back in phase at the point where it screws up. No automation, effects, or crazy production tricks yet. I'm not really happy with the guitar tone yet, and I'm having trouble with the kick sound and the cymbal levels (lots of bleed in the other mics). That said, here it is. I'll work on it more this weekend.

Ough, darn, I just don't have the kind of bandwidth to download that many files. Would've loved to have contributed a mix though.

ok, here is my v.2 mix
i worked a bit longer on this one. i used a DKFHS snare and one of my own kick samples (Tama starclassic 22" kick).
i used the 5150 as the "main" amp and some blend with the Engl amp.
i think is sounds
mixed in Nuendo 2.2. Sonalksis eq is used on the drums. PSP on the guitar group. WizooVerb 2 on the drums.
