PreMastering....(a specific problem)

So.....I'm preparing for a psytrance show, and I've got this problem with premastering.
For a concert, I bounce all my songs to six tracks of audio and run them out of my ultralight into a mixing board, where i dub them out, King Tubby Style. Except at 150 BPM!

So the question is, since each song consists of 6 separate tracks(Kick n Bass, Drums, Percussion, and three tracks of synths/noises) , Should I just put a mastering chain (compressor, limiter, eq)on the Master out before I bounce the tracks down? Because if I'm bouncing, say, the Kick n Bass track, it'll be the only thing running thru that mastering chain, which is set for a whole track to be running thru it. So it'll react differently to just the Kick and bass, right? Will this affect my sound in weird ways?

thanks!

you could use groups/ busses and tailor your chain there?

I.E 6 tracks = 6 busses = 6 EFX chains tailored

I've done many live (p.a.) acts just the way you describe. I never premaster using anything on the masterchannel. Just make sure you don't peak when playing all your tracks together (and even then...). When you go live, you can adjust volumes/eq per channel in your sequencer and using a producer mixer which I hope you have.
