Re: mixing & mastering

Yes, that's right when talking about a stereo mix where you don't have
access to the different components. What I implied is that I prefer to
make necessary adaptions as close to the sound source as possible,
rather than using a multi band compressor. That way you can get an
even punchier loud sound (because sound sources with extra muscles do
not bog down the band width for other more subtle sound components).
Another issue for live performance issue is latency and since I work
on a laptop based system I rule out all software that cause extra
latency, which includes most multiband compressors I know about. One
might argue that "a host application applies latency compensation" but
this is only true as long as you work with already recorded sounds and
the host application is not the sync slave to something else (a looper
device or a buddy)
