Reply to How to add punch to a track?

One thing I noticed with my productions is that they lack punch compared to already mastered tracks, such as those released on beatport. When I lay out the waveforms for a side-by-side comparison, the "professional" tracks seem to have thicker (in width) wave forms, such as the kick drum hits etc... I spend a lot of time on my mixdowns and eq'ing because I know how important this step is. I usually do minute eq'ing on the master chain with a limiter on the end to bring the levels back up. I'll put in a multipressor to bring out some inconsistencies, but mainly very subtle tweaks.

Is it possible to achieve industry loudness and punchiness without having to send the track to a professional mastering studio?
