Ive heard quite a bit about double bussing - assigning a vocal (for instance) to 2 busses, compressing one and not compressing the other and mixing them together. I hear it is done in recording quite a bit but some folks do it live as well. Aside from being able to get more gain (which Im not sure why you would need to do it that way - cant you just turn the 1 channel up?), whats the benefit?
Also, why use busses (groups) to do it? Couldnt you get the same thing by splitting a mic to 2 channels?
Just curious...
