hehe i never paid attention to the harbal crap...i just got the idea of the signal chain and the MB compressor...was the quickest way to improve my mixes, but in the last 2 weeks now that i finally have some mics/preamps that can actually do their job, im finding the MB compression being either NOT a good thing or (what i originally thought) that i was just not setting them up properly.

I say use any tool that works, just know why you are using it and why it's working.

You have to pick a correct volume and not move the knob. I feel you need a little distance from your monitors to your head. And I feel you need full range monitors. Once you have all of these at the same time, it becomes fairly easy to get a consistent volume from song to song.

No I think you summed it up quite nicely.

Logic shouldn't be offensive.
