If you compress the heck out of the drums and you compress the bass and other instruments to control dynamics, then why do people still use another compressor on the stereo buss? I'm just curious because why compress strings instruments? I could be wrong, but does anyone else feels that the compressor is being used too much on tracks today? Everything is being compress over and over again.
