like you know dnb beats have made with extensive use of layering & compression.
easy to say then to manage.
after layering hits you can find your beat to harsh or muddy.
after compressing you can find frequency intermodulations so your kicks eat hats or something ugly ducking.

so the following setup could be tried to make the process more controllable.
1. group hits into fx/channel buses. on that stage u can control individual hits' volume. for example group kicks into 1st bus, snares into 2nd one, hats & ghosts into 3rd.

2. make 3 send fx/channel buses. they will represent different frequency bands - low, mid & high frequency ranges.

3. send hit group fx/channel buses into them adjusting send amount to taste.

4. compress every frequency band to taste to achieve individual character on lows, mids & highs.

in example fl studio project i used multiband compressor on send channels as a band filter & compressor. cross-fading frequencies are controllable through dashboard.
