I have modeled my mixing system around parallel processing and I haven't looked back. I built my template based on parallel compression for drums and all other instruments, even my lead vocals all go through parallel processing and it has made me a better mixer, producing better sounding mixes.
The difference in my mixes are like night and day.
Parallel processing has been around since the mid 1960's and was a known technique by the 70's, a time we now look back on as having the best sounding records. I believe this has a lot to do with this amazing technique.
