That M79 looks ROUGH I'd be scared to jump into that!

I often use lots of compression. Every song and record is a bit different, but there things that tend to happen almost universally. These are general ideas, not a formula or requirement! Tracking Bass is usually compressed, often pretty hard. Vocals usually get two comps in series. BD and SD, often ...
