Well... yes and no The idea of parallel compression, eq and parallel aural exciters have certainly and historically never been possible (with some rare exceptions) on a plug-in designed to be an in series device inserted on a channel. The idea of wet/dry on a compressor or eq or exciter is a fairly recent development in software plug-ins. Again with some rare exceptions. It was certainly unheard of back in the hardware days.

It also was (and quite frankly still is) a matter of the age old issue of just how much math is a plug-in compressor willing to devote to mixing and compressing vs just compressing.

Until recently compression, bit-depth maximizing, aural exciting and eq were always considered a series device and aux send and returns were always set aside for time based, parallel processing.
