Chuck,
Thanks for this. So what do you do if you know on a track you only want to give 3 DB's of compression, do you still use your track meters when the plugin is bypassed to see how much compression is occurring on the track? I definitely understand using your ears, but I just meant with that scenario, if you knew you wanted to only give a track 2-3 db's of compression, how would you handle that with no meter access? I guess with compression in pt, your track meters are your friend.

Step 3 use your "EARS" and go back in forth from hotspot to hotspot, bypassing as you go until you reach the desired output level for your track. This is also a good way to "see" if your smashing it or not.

Is the workaround to bypass the compressor, and then go look at the track meter to determine how much gain reduction is happening so you would know how much makeup gain to add back in? Just am curious to see what some of the workarounds are to dealing with no metering in the compressors in PT.
