The only production technique that consistently annoys me is the over-use of compression. Many producers will say they do it to get their tracks noticed, or to give them "presence" . . . I would suggest, if you find that people only notice your tracks when you eliminate your dynamic range and make everything blaringly-loud, you've probably got bigger worries than poor production.
An over-compressed track is like a black and white photograph that's 90% flat white and 10% flat black black, with no grey in between. But then I prefer digital to vinyl . . . *runs away* ------ Brian "balistic" Prince http://www.bprince.com - art and techno
