The best thing about teaching others about recording is seeing their
faces when they realize what can be done with dynamics processing and
equalization.

How do you get "hyper-realistic" and compression/EQ into the same thought?

I guess I'm really asking how you define hyper-realistic.

Well, since hyper means: Over; above; beyond; excessive; or excessively,
"hyper-realistic" would be over or beyond realistic, putting it into a class
above Radio Shack products. Wasn't that a song in the movie Mary Poppins?

Super-hyper-realistic-expi-ali-do-sious?
