I had 48, but I'm down to 24; with a higher ratio, I could get it even smaller.
Wait... loot _then_ burn? D'oh!

Do gates count? If they do, I would recommend constructing a fence with one.

3 for every channel you’re using, 5 for every bus

Dynamic range is sooooo 1974 :roll:

A bus needs an optical compressor so it can see when it runs over someone.

Thanks guys. I just put 18 compressors on my kick drum track. Finally it sounds natural!

Onto the hi-hats!

If you own a large number, compressing them using a lossless compression method can make the things more manageable. You will end up with maybe half the number of compressors, and your music will still sound the same. You can compress your compressors even further using a lossy algorithm, maybe to 1/10th the number, but quality will increasingly suffer.

The amount it takes to do the job you want to do.

You need to rack mount this many if you're really serious about doing things professionally
