In Andrew's blog post on home mastering, this plug in is the first to be mentioned. Andrew Says, "This is the workhorse for volume and punch. I generally only touch the left two dials, with input between 1.2-2.4db and shape between 50-100% on most tracks. Extremely soft songs, like ballads, will be the exceptions where those numbers will be significantly lower."
