Let do not forget that acoustic space also have own compression… not to mention that the performing intend itself has own “compression”.

Anyhow, I kind of view noondays the whole subject of compression slightly different then I use to do it before. I agree that various type of compressions rule playback but my interest is what type of compressions they are and HOW the compression applied. To a degree a properly made compressions might be in fact a beneficial tool. Someone before proposed it but I discarded it – now I feel that the idea of full-of-sense compressions had own merit.

The most interesting aspect to me in whole idea of compression is not the compression itself – we people who sit in the end sound chain have very little control over it. What interests me is hot to organize playback DIFFERENTLY in order to make the playback to sound the most properly with this or that type of compression. The compression itself is like an input parameter of some kind of function and the playback shall react to compression and to be able to deal with it…
