HELP!! MIX MASTERING?

i just finished a dj mix that i'm happy with BUT before I release it I'de like to put it through some COMPRESSER's and/or 4 BAND EQ's or whatever it is big name Dj's's or Producers use to give it that Crisp, Clear, "proffesional sound".  I wish i could explain it better, I guess the best example would be the new "Daley - What's in a Name ?" mix.. he's got that real - y'know, "CRISPY" sound? ANYWAYS, I got Pro-Tools and Cool Edit but I don't know what Compresser/EQ Parameters I would use to get that CRISPY type of sound.. Can someone PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS?

It really dosn't work like that, like said above if it was that easy...

It depends on the mix, compression and eq are there to correct unique problems.

All commerical compo cd's have pro-mastering, just makes things sound a bit tighter (espically when you bare in mind the poor systems it might get played on), its not a major issue though. But for your average mix cd, I don't really see the need.

When i've booked people off the back of demo cd's, its from the quality of there mixing and the tunes they choose. The sound quality of it dosn't really come into it, unless its unlistenable (which funily enough usually comes from bad mastering).
