I may be an exception then. When I entered the field back in 1981, my first boss said to me, "If I ever come in here and find you mixing with a compressor across the two-mix I will
personally choke you!" Hilarious. I learned to mix without the bus compressor and then later learned that it tightened things up. My method is to build the mix and add the bus compressor near the end of the process. I used the SSL 4000 bus compressor when I had that console in my room and I use it as a plug now.
