No doubt. I would agree somewhat about the over processing. Much of the sound of commercial music is the sound of compression. Tracks are squeezed within an inch of their life for a number of reasons. We no longer have tape doing any compression, saturation or distortion... so we reach for compression to give character. Also, much of that music lacks dnamic, so we try to create some artificially...with compression and other techniques. Music is compressed again in mastering and yet again on the radio... so yes... THERE'S A LOT OF COMPRESSION. Lol.
