Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

I recently got my hands on a focusrite mixmaster which, amongst other  
things has a stereo multi-band compressor. I'm taking the master  BUS L 
+R out the main analogue outs on my Metric Halo ULN-2 thru the  
focusrite and back into the inserts and mixing off that. I record it  
back to  a stereo file when I'm done. I'm liking what it's doing. I'm  
not  that experienced a mixer and the compression  on everything seems  
to make it easier for me to pull a good sounding mix together quicker.  
It seems to add a sort of hardware mojo to the sound too. When I  
disengage the unit it sounds thin now.
