FWIW, I loved the Charlie Sheen joke...
On a different note, one of my Nashville producer buds says he uses the "elysia alpha compressor" plugin all the time for brightening up and sweetening a mix. The YouTube video looks pretty crazy with the ability to independently tweak M/S and stereo. I know there are a zillion plugins out there...anyone ever used this before? Just curious...
