Do you actually drop a compressor on every single track?

[roman.i]

This is quite clear about non-electronic music, recordings require dynamics control.
In electronic music you can control amp envelops and such.
Noticed in one interview with Boris Brejcha that he doesn't compress single tracks at all,
but only the mix bus, and he got a pretty damn good sound.

Depends the sound. If it's a bunch of drum samples, not unless you want the specific colour of transient shaping, but a really resonant synth patch with cut off automation and stuff like phasers, I do.

[sQeetz]

I usually compress Kick+Snare together, then the whole Drumset, then again with just the Bass and then again on the master channel.....
Sometimes very subtle, sometimes aggressive. Depends on the kind of sound I want to achieve

[vitocorleone123]

No, but often yes, and most often yes on a bus.

[sQeetz]

As always...it depends

[ramseysounds]

No. Why even ask? Is it cos what you seen on youtube?!

VOID

[ramseysounds]

no, there’s actually lots of good information to be had. It’s being able to sort the good from the bad. Anyone who calls his track a ‘beat’ is an instant no no

I wouldn't even go that far. Sometimes the recorded dynamics are good.

spike lee called his movies 'joints.' he must be a moron with no insight into filmmaking.
