2 weeks ago Buzz Goreewas spinning over here, some guy booked him with 2 other DJ's who where playing banging looptechno, Buzz was playing the middle of them. All the looptechno records where extremely compressed, it was just one solid wall of sound pushing out of the speakers while the records Buzz was playing used a way more subtile compression giving these records lots more dynamics.
I prefer to use compression in a more subtile way to, just to keep the dynamics and to keep the track alive Personally i think that the biggest advantage of digital systems like protools are for producers. No way you can hear in a club if it is mixed on an analog desk or a digital one. For producers it works faster and easier, sure it gives a cleaner sound but to be honest, that is almost not hearable on a soundsystem.
