I'm all still intrigued by the idea that software compression create bit reduction especially at extreme setting. every 6 db of gain reduction lops of a bit or so and if you are doing this to a hi gain source it messes with resolution and image

huh. go figure, but that makes total sense. wouldn't we not have this problem, at least in theory by using plug-ins that run at 32bit or 64bit oversampling? i'd imagine that maybe there's still a reduction in bit depth but that with the 64bit processing, it wouldn't be noticeable to any living human... supersonic animal stuff. i don't mind plugs on individual tracks and use them quite a bit, but all the mults & final summing happens in analog or it gets weird & phasey.
