I like what I'm hearing now though. once again great thread!!!
too much master compression is shit, but i use lots of compression on some parts and very little on others.
I usually only use a ratio of 1.3 or 1.7 on the master to keep plenty of dynamics, as i think it's the dynamics that make music interesting and give it life.

Far to much stuff coming out at the moment is really loud but got no life at all
