Depending on music style, tend to NY-compress my drums, and on some occations the vocals.
As I read your reply, Retchid Gretchin, you wanna use it to fix balance issues. But like RoyM says, parallel compression isn't the right tool for this kind of issue.
My issue isn't getting the vocals loud enough, or more in your face, it's just to make them sit right in the mix and at the same time have a whole lot of drums and guitars. Isolated speaking, the guitars sound like ... well, like guitars for this kind of music, and like the guitars the band's recorded. In my opinion, they don't need to be fattened or moved forward in the mix, which is why I don't think that parallel compression is the way to go. I am more keen on believing that it is, as RoyM has suggested, a matter of fundamental balance and a lot more fader riding.
Anyhow, I do appreciate your inputs.

I have a Polish friend, who is a sound engineer. Oh, and a Czech one too.
