Compression on every channel?

Yeah, compression only if it's needed. Vocals and bass usually off the bat.
 
Compression on every track?... Yea, almost every one. A nice, slow, calm kind of track... probably not. And not much. A fast, powerful, hard drivin', lots of emotion kind of track... probably a lot.

And virtually everything else that comes out a speaker now. Some really great sounding music has been made w/o a comp on every track, and this (to put it verbally, the sound of 'everything, all the time') is indeed a different sound.
I understand fully why one would say to use compression wisely, for the right reasons, etc., but to call it in any way conservative' is a testament to things have drifted.
I don't know about y'all but my ears yearn for some firkin dynamics. Somewhere. Anywhere.

It's also important to rmemeber that just because SSL's have compressors on every channel, that does not mean that they get used on every channel, or any channel for that matter.
Exactly! Like we all know thousands of work but that doesnt mean we use them all everyday.

Then you are lazy! ;)

If you meant "words" ( I am sure you did! ), you are then DUMB if you only know "thousands". ;) The average vocaculary is around 10k-20k words.

But, we probably don't use but a small fraction of them on a daily basis.

On certain styles, a LOT of compression works really nicely.

Damn, where the hell did that K come from! :eek: Darn fingers.
 
I use it when needed, or for an effect. I hate listening to mixes with poorly set attack and release times, so there are strange pumping feels out of time with one another.
