extra compressors and sidechain

[dirty_bass]

I just see little point in compressing everything.
It`s the same as compressing nothing at all.
Very dangerous on the dynamics front, unless of course, you are making minimal.
Apart from that, it makes mastering very very difficult as there is little dynamic left to work with.

if not compression that what is an alternative to making the hardtechno/schranz chugging sound with the kick and the bass and the loop..or do i compress all that..then just add in other sounds (synths, vocals,etc) later without compressing those
