Sometimes a loud pop kinda thing, the vocal is dominant and pushing the drums down. I guess it goes both ways. Personally, I think if the mix buss compressor is doing some of what is described in this thread, there is simply too much mix buss compression going on but just IMHO/taste.

I tend to have a rule that if any compressor is going more than a couple dB, I need a good reason for it - I have good reasons all the time for things like individual tracks like a vocal, or NY compression but when it's a buss compressor of any type, I tend to get concerned if over a dB or two of GR. Again just a personal ramble.
