Of course, I like multi-band compressors, e.g. JAMin too. I'm not a Bob
Katz fan or an anti-compressor-hardliner.
I just want to point out that measured results are less important (not
unimportant).

It's impossible to do neutral measurements
and from a democratically
worldview listening to recordings without dynamic is the winner.
My personal take is that I would prefer different mixes for different uses.
When out walking on dangerous streets with my earphones in I have to keep the
volume low if I hope to hear road noise. A mix with wide dynamic range ends
with me not hearing the quiet passages as cars pass but hearing a mix of car
and recording in the loud passages.
So I might want a mix with little dynamic range for this situation. I need to
make some and see if it works out better.
all the best,
