Take a listen to Rob Chiarelli's stuff. It's cheap and works amazingly well.

I either use iZotope Ozone or PSP's Xenon (a limiter - so cheating a little on the topic!). Also, the UAD SSL Buss compressor.

I've demoed PSP's MasterComp which is really clear and sweet sounding. Next time they have a big sale I might have to get that.

I'm too stupid for MSpectralDynamics.

That's actually why I like it. After following Bitflipper's guide I can make use of it. I don't have the training, skill, or any of that to actually make any intelligent choices with a multi-band compressor. However with MSpectralDynamics all I do is drop it on the master bus and basically play with the wet/dry setting, and maybe the slope. I'm sure I could get better results if I knew what I was doing, but doing that very often gives nice results. It often needs no tweaking to improve the sound.

And if I find it doesn't, I just leave it off.

Yeah, I can say that about Alchemist. It takes a good bit of training. heh.
