Very Intriguing:

I have a very good friend that has engineer many CDs and he has always said to me that the young and the restless, reach for the compressor the season for the EQ?? Interesting perspective that really sums up some of what you are saying.

As a follow up question to this compression dilemma that we all find ourselves into is how to capture an instruments transients, yet making a commercially viable product?? I am talking about punch, character, width, depth and vibe???? Espeically the world that I tend to find my self where the client is judging your mixes against the flavor of the week/loud (ULTRA COMPRESSED) CD. Any words of advice are much appreciated.
