very true. But in the audio realm U can compesate 4 that and if u listen 2 a lot os slovenian/ russian stuff, the way a certain sound reacts when U release the kick, showing a few more notes and stuff is like part of the sound. Also if u use small ratios and fast attack/ releases, the result ain't as drastic as u pointed out... still fair play 2 ya, for bringing that "nasty" side-effect 2 us....
I've also seen some people using a second comp/ limiter after the first (sidechainned 1)...
