This just seems like a bunch of marketing b.s. to me.

how you approach EQ and compression are both HEAVILY dependent on the signal that you're putting into them in the first place.

I would find Chris Lord-Alge's presets totally useless.

I'm sure that he got a fat paycheck for attaching his name to them, though.
You might want to try them first. I did, and I can tell you that indeed some of them do give you instant "Lord Alge" sounds, or at least very close starting points from which to tweak.

And anyone who's worked with the Lord Alge bros will tell you that they have arrays of gear that stay set the same most of the time that they run stuff through, which is one reason they're notoriously able to crank mixes out in only a few hours.
