Ok, must people (on other forums

) just slap a compressor on the 2-buss and mix away, and this works very good.....but anyone got any more crafty tricks.....i'll start the ball rolling with something i just tried........
.........putting a compressor on all the main groups (so vox, BV's, kick, snare, bass, keys, guitars, cymbals you get the idea).....then, use the auxilary sends to send to the sidechains of the other compressors.....so setting up a sort of hierachy or layers of compression......so maybe vox ducks BV's, kick ducks bass, Kick and snare duck everything (but are not compressed themselves like would happen with normal 2-buss compression)....all vox ducks keys, but maybe guitar ducks BV's or whatever etc etc.....i've tried it in a limited way and it seems to work very good, but i'd love to get some more stereo comp's so i can go really over the top with it....or am i getting too muso or something?.........anyway, more tricks?
