Default Re: Compressor on an auxiliary track

Both. Most "normal" compression is used as an insert. However, a more advanced techinique is parallel compression where you leave the dynamics of the real track in tact and then squash it on the aux send. It's very popular with rock drums, but it works on many sources. I'd be lost with out it.
