I've read a lot of the posts on Comp./Lim. and I think I have a grasp of the benefits it provides.
I've also read the thread on the importance of trackin as hot a signal as possible.
This maybe a dumb question, but here goes anyway. I'm trying to understand the benefit of adding compression after the fact. I can understand adding it during tracking. You can get a hotter signal without overloading your top end, and causing distortion.
I can understand adding it afterward in order to bring up parts that are not loud enough. Is that the only advantage to compressing after the fact? Or is there some advantage to squashing it on the top too?
