Oh, duh. I read 'mixing engineer' when he said ME, but he meant 'mastering engineer'. Sorry. Oh the difference one word makes.

Anyway, I think it's been pretty fairly settled at this point that it's long been common to use a glue compressor on the mix bus, and that it's probably even more common now. It's been discussed many times, and not very many people seem to take the purist view on that, that I've seen. Doesn't mean you have to over do it of course.
