Gee. Only 4? [...]

Yep. Only some eq on individual drum tracks. Now parallel and two mild serial comps and tape saturation on the on the drum bus. Individual drum tracks sounded nice for me so not much processing there.

Is that a common practice, to use so many dynamic processors on a single buss. I always have two + a de-esser in my vocal chain. As these are doing something specific to a single instrument I am just trying to fathom how that would work on a multi-insturment buss like the drums. I will often buss my toms if necessary for stereo compression of those but that is a discreet instrument among the drums. I guess you could easily put mono dynamics on every instrument and multi, stereo compressors on the buss. Where does it STOP? LOL. Do you have channel templates you recall into each of your channels or do you build them on the fly?
