At any rate I never think using a 3 band comp on a mix is that smart.
Why. Well with recall automation in most all of todays sytems I would
rather go back to the multi track and compress, EQ ,lower or raise
individual items to make my mixes do what I want. Why goof with the 2
track and change everything.


The main reason why multiband compression exists is to deal with instances
where you can't go back to the 2-track.

Broadcast work is the best possible example.... you get the records from the
record company, you put them all on air, you want the levels and general
balances to be similar but you can't call the record company and ask for a
remix. Even though much of the time that would help...
