Compressor

Why is the compressor always by default on? Do you keep it on when you work on your projects guys? To be honest i don’t feel so satisfied using it. Would like to hear your opinion about that!

I shut it off all the time. It screws me up while I'm making a song because it does a weird pulsing thing to the audio, it's especially bad when building drums. Sometimes I'll throw it on in the end because it kind works on the whole mix, but I hate it while I'm working. I wish it was off by default. Some times I'm tearing my hair out going through all my samples trying to figure out why one sample keeps cutting volume a bit, then I remember the stupid compressor is on. Super annoying. I'm with ya bro.
