Subgroups for a piano or strings?
I got confused recently because I saw an article that shows subgroups for a piano and string track when there is only one piano and string recording. What's the point of this? I understand having a drumsub group since you have more than one drum element but why a subgroup for a piano when there is only one piano the whole song? Can't you just apply all your plugins to the piano track and not need the subgroup? The article explains that you put compression on the subgroup of the piano but put EQ and effects on the main piano track. I don't see any reason for this unless I'm missing something.

Possibly about parallel processing. Some engineers mix a compressed track with an uncompressed one. Different quality than a single compressed track.
