This is still quite different than parallel compression.  One can have fast
attack times with high ratios yet still have the transient response of the
dry sound.  Parallel compression is a fundamental audio engineering 'trick'
responsible for massive drums sounds (Bonham 'When the Levee Breaks', the
snare sound on Bowie's 'Let's Dance', etc).

Unfortunately,  DSP compression is absolutely horrid compared to analog
boxes like an API 2500 or ADR Compex - let alone the old tube gear like a
176.
