Well the only effect I might ever really use on the main mix might be reverb, or final compresion.
I will usually effect each track on its own. Or in the case of groups of instruments, vocals etc. you might send them to a seperate buss or subgroup in your DAW and run a single effect for that group. IN my case sometimes I will make these seperate bussing groups. Drums, Guitars, keys, vocals, horns, backing vocals etc.. This way I cand give each group its own set of processors to achieve a better sound in the main mix.
