One comment that Jack said got me thinking - that humans can only hear a finite number of things at the same time. My uncle, who has a masters in (classical style) music composition once told me something similar. I'm thinking that maybe a good mixer would think about exactly what item the listener should be listening to, instead of leaving it to the listener. And thus maybe make changes to eq and level when things enter the mix, and then as they settle down, maybe they should be dulled and brought down. Does anyone do this?

One thing I have noticed is that leaving some sounds in, even if very quiet still add to the feel. When playing back on monitors somewhat loud, you bring the fader down (-20 db or so) and it seems to be dropping out, but later when I burn to a CD and play in the car or the living room stereo, those things are still quite present without being obtrusive.
