what about the multi-band compressor to tame the lows?

Do you mean using it on the channel itself? I don't see how this could 
help, since the channel only has bass information and therefore it 
would pretty much act as a normal Logic compressor I reckon (no need to 
split the information in frequency bands....)

However I am using it for the final output mix right before the Ad-
Limiter almost in every track I mix - this one included. I find it a 
fantastic tool. For this track though I don't obviously have a lot of 
headroom to use since I am already clipping..... (and almost feels like 
I am gonna be clipping without the Ad-Limiter until the end of time  ;-)

So much of this is related to acoustic treatment in the mixing room.

Compression and EQ isn't going to help if you can't hear what you are  
doing.
It is often the reason mixes do not translate to different  
environments- getting it good in the room is the beginning of the  
process.

As far as compression goes- can I direct you all  to some posts made  
by Bruce Swedien on Gearslutz?
