1. The UAD LA-2A emulation, and all of the other various emulations of that
emulation. Opto compressors are great when used in the right situation. And
of course they're easy to use, there's two knobs and a bypass switch. But
it's precisely the simplicity that makes people slap the damn things on everything.
And opto compressors don't belong on everything, they're way too fast for
many of the places where people put them. Like electric guitars, which shouldn't
really need compression anyway. I hear mixes from my friends and the percussive
attack of the notes are just gone. It's mush. And nine times out of ten I
say, 'Hey, you're using an LA-2A on the guitars aren't you?' and then they
think I'm some golden ears genius. No, your guitars sound like shit.

2. Multiband compressors. I don't think I need to explain this.

So, on my upcoming Monkies mixing any time I use an LA-2A I'm going to make
sure I justify it in my head, and try a different comp/limiter first. I solemnly
swear to the entire PARIS newsgroup.
