Well that's why I always use pre-fader sends for parallel compression busses and post-fader for linear effects.
Yea I remember you telling me about Stealth Sends before, but I just haven't tried em. It seemed like too much manual labor and I already have an instant way of making my busses and VCA slaves.
Still haven't gotten around to trying the Rear Buss technique yet. Maybe now is a good time...
