Whether it's restoring dynamics to heavily processed acoustic or vocal tracks or refining the peaks my snare drum with enriched goodness, PPP has become indispensable.
When it gets to the mix bus, I've long been an advocate of double processing—two compressors, two EQs, and now, two instances of PPP. The stacked result can achieve sounds that just aren't possible with a single module of processing. With PPP, I enjoyed not only the boost in loudness, but processing the harmonics produced by the initial processing with the second instance. Even with an approximated level match, this method consistently delivers a more satisfying result than a single, more aggressive application of PPP on the mix alone. Maybe i should just make that a feature and call it the Double Puff. It actually sounds like a missed opportunity... a button to convert puff pass into puff puff pass

Thanks for the insights here on how you deploy PPMP across the mix. I tend to fall in love and slather a plug everywhere only to realize later I actually 'shrunk' my production. So far I've parked PPMP on bass and the mixbus but now I have a feeling additional spots will be found.
