Your production is tight.........multi band compression on your final mixes?

Mulit-band Compression = dangerous in the wrong hands
I do premastering on the side, and I bet I only use a multiband compressor on like 5% or less of the mixes sent to me. You're better off just fixing the mix if it's your own tune to correct the mistake, multiband is primarily for when you don't have that option.
IMVHO of course.

Hey thanks for your insight. I always thought multiband comp was a good way to "fatten up the mix" (i'm no mastering engineer, only a wanna be musician/producer)?

Actually, most of the time multiband is a good way to 'flatten out the mix', unless you really need to use it and know what you're doing.
The common conception is what you describe, that MBC is a better way to fatten a mix. In reality, it was created primarily to address issues that couldn't be cured with regular compression/limiting.
Another misconception is that the more bands the better, when in reality I bet most professional mastering guys RARELY use more than two bands at once. Typically it's used to tame an unruly bassline or kick, provided of course EQ and the possibility to redo the mix have been explored first.

Yes we use the MD3 mastering tool for the Powercore...Being carefull with the Multiband comp and the Threshold tweaking we don't like to compress the Fuck out of our tracks like most people do these days,....And yeah we know what were doing !!!

how does that compare to the master x 5? (or really the other way around)........
What is your opinion of the "assimilator" powercore plug in inorder to "study" other artists "final mix".........right, it does something like that, by scanning eq from a track and applying that to your own mix.
I know this quite "preset" in application, but how else can I learn how to master, if not by seeing how other tracks are mastered?
Mastering is something that I am still in elementary stages of. I undestand it in "theory", but my objective musician ears can never get passed certain frequency hang ups.......
