I think cgarges et. al. have answered this pretty good, just in case though, one of the best things about using two comps to acheive the compression you would have normally gotten with just one compressor is that instead of the compression artifacts of the one comp, you get a little of the artifacts of one plus a little of the artifacts of the other. BTW, I prefer this technique for mixing rather than tracking, but it's the same basic idea. To answer Snatchman's question, a dual mono unit wouldn't be as good to me, since although you could set the two channels differently, they're still the same compressor. I mix at a studio where there's a Tube Tech LCA-2B, which I hadn't warmed up to until I tried it in conjunction with the API 525's...just a little compression with each unit on a vocal and it's real nice
