I agree with, that eq and compression generally want to be used as inserts,
however there is a work around like say if you wantto compress all the main
vocals the same way. instead of loading the same compressor with the same
settings on all their inserts, create a vocal send or AUX. Then
, processing power isn't a major concern these
days. I think it's simpler just to keep things separate. I guess it's a
matter of personal preference at what point the number becomes too high and
bussing is preferable.
