Yea, one thing I notice is that when musicians hear their sounds compressed they get excited and that seems to show it in their performance.
+1!
But on the same note, I was listening to some acoustic guitar I recorded a while back, and was amazed by the clarity and punch, and excited to look over my notes of the session, to look at the settings/which compressor I used for that killer sound! Turns out it was with out compression! haha
I guess I'm just scared of getting into a rut! Ok great comments btw. carry on

Commit.
I like to get my project sounding as close to the final going into the box. It helps make the mix easier and helps the musicians to play against something that sounds like a record. I like to get my tracks pumping and exciting.
That mean's generous amounts of compression and EQ.
Compression in the box is flat and listless compared to the real deal.
It get's easier to see into the future when you've done it a few times.
Yes, it's old school.
