Mix while you make it, set up a template with a reveb channel and a couple of tracks with eq, compression or whatever on them. Then tweak everything after.

Mix down as you go. Then don't listen to the track for several days - open it up and give it a final mix down. You should only need to do minor tweaks, but they will make all the difference.

Me too ;-) but when I don't do that that, I mixdown as I go just so it's tolerable, then do it proper at the end.

I know, right. I keep opening it, for some reason, expecting something more useful than 'yeah mix down as you go.'
