Which uses the term 'density' 7 times, in all cases as a
measure of how many samples are clipped.

So what do you mean by 'frequency density' ?
And yes, compression can (but doesn't have to) affect perception
of transients. What does that have to do with just using EQ and
faders ?

As should be clear from the context, 'a mix' means using recorded 
signals. If the recording was done by someone knowing his trade
all tracks and hence all inputs to the mixer should already have
normal levels. Then there is no 'gain staging' involved at all.
Not even on analog mixers.

Of course you can continue to reply to any remark with something
vaguely related but completely irrelevant, like the two examples
above. It will only serve to confirm the rather poor impression
you have made so far.
