i split my bass into subs and rest... and i distort the rest. i also compress the rest or do other experimental things with it...
how many dark rules did i break
i understand your opinion about compression/limiting the subs...
i remember a thread about a bass... the artist sayed he compressed and eq`ed about 5 times or even more...www.soundcloud.com/orgytime

To fine tune transient to body relationship, making it more plucky (more than the synth env allow) or more boomy.
Some compressors also color sound so it can get nice buzz just from going into the unit.
often use it for this too , to get a more defined attack ,a more in your face sound and to get more drive ,the bassline more under control ,but all this it depend the situation and what the sound need and the mood you are in this day, can do something totally different and still sound good .

majority of plugins comp sucks for fast kbbb bassline,someone using one these comp (can be very good comp for other stuff it dont mean it s bad comps)i can understand why they never compress their bass cause it don t really make them sounding better , i mean it s not night and day.
some comps are clearly superior with the snap and how well it define the attack and the drive you can get,the way it pump ,the way it control the sound ... after it depends the bassline and the sound wanted .

RULE #6: NEVER MAKE BASS
RULE #7: NEVER USE THE SAME HIHAT AS SOMEONE ELSE
RULE #8: NEVER MODULATE ANYTHING EVER
Seriously though, compressing to me depends on the track I'm working on and the synth I'm using. Some synths that I use for bass have a better sound, but less control, so doing some processing helps. Others I might be able to do it all in the synth depending on what stlye I'm writing, what tempo it's at, etc. Realize that with a compressor you can change the sound in ways that a synth can't- extra processing tools are there for a reason, if they did the same thing as something that already existed, there would be no need for them.
In the end it's always going to be subjective, but if you know what compression actually does and how to use it to your advantage, feel free to use it. The only rule you should live by for production is the rule to be satisfied with what you've done (also, good luck with that, I'm still trying to get there ).http://soundcloud.com/ascensionsound www.chilluminati.org - Midwest based psytrance group

Take a sine and compress it? The only change you can make is to make it square and add harmonics to it or adding some vol envelope to it so why not using one?
The only change you can make is not make the sine wave square. There are parameters on compressors they are not brickwall limiters by default.

Well there are. For example say you have a bass sound you really like, set the filter, ADSR settings and modulation index just right, yet you want the transient to come out a bit more, or you want a clicky bassline where you like the click sound, but you want to reduce its dynamic content, or you want to bring the tail of the bassline more in the mix, Would you not use a compressor because you think the only change a compressor has on a sine wave, is make it square?

I understand you enthusiasm but you have a lot more to learn. Also you are too sure of the way you are working, allow for your self the possibility that you will get better results if you break the "rules" you your self posted, cause it is seems to me that the reason you present these rules is because you haven't actually understood them yet. Once you truly understand a "rule", then you can "break it" to your own advantage.
