You can certainly put compression on busses. I often will have 8 background vocal tracks assigned to a bus and just add some compression to the whole thing.

You only put compression on individual tracks? Never use the busses? I thought I was getting somewhere when I had a separate bus for compression and would use that on certain tracks. I was probably just turning the volume up and down. But when I've tried it on single tracks, I can't seem to find anyway in the track inspecter to control the compresser. It's been awhile, but it seems like my only options were the presets. I'm using sonar four though. http://www.gbrayton.com
