They aren't. What about when there's a crescendo in the music and your highly compressed vocal gets swamped out at that point? Or the bus compression kicks in a tiny bit extra on the downbeat of the chorus and you need to "get over the hump" with a quick fader hit for overheads or vocals?
What if you want to only "half compress" the vocal b/c the tonality is too different when it's squashed, but then need to do rides to fit the track?
With a summer with no faders you realize the limitations quickly. The only solutare inserts before stemming, tonelux faders, and full automation. Or if you're old school just nudging real faders a bit here and there and keeping it organic sounding. |

doesn't work if you have multiple things to ride and your comps are spread out in the room aside from some having little pots[SSL,etc[
