For one to say that they don't like PC (in my book) it simply means that that don't like mixing a source signal back into the chain after compression. |
Hi Tom!
Re-reading your post fresh in the morning i see that you didn't literally mean to suggest a different concept but rather describe the process in another way right?
As it's clear that one can mix processed to source or processed 1 to processed 2 in any ratio to taste.
I'm not afraid of Parallel Compression either and combined with some analog compression in series it allows to keep the PC mixed in subtly and/or - indeed - with a lower ratio. Less fingerprints by adding small amounts of processing divided over a few tools.
O, btw i DO use PSI on everything :
